It's not possible to use inventory variables in the "host" spec ("- hosts:").
Also, don't use debug with register, instead, if you need to set a variable: - set_fact: foo: "tag_Name_{{ aws.ec2.Name }}" "- hosts: {{ hostvars.localhost.aws_host_target.msg" This is also an error because the trailing "}}" is missing. You can pass in host spec parameters with "-e" on the command line.
