This seems like the thing that someone else helped me figure out how to do, e.g. I now have as part of my aws-launch.yml playbook: - name: Add new instance to a temporary group local_action: module: add_host name: "{{ item.public_ip }}" groups: newly_launched ec2_tag_Name: "{{ instance_hostname }}" with_items: ec2.instances Does that help? (instance_hostname is a variable that I passed in to the playbook on the command line, which gets set for real at AWS with instance_tags: Name: "{{ instance_hostname }}" in the ec2 launch task.) -Josh (j...@care.com) This email is intended for the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED or CONFIDENTIAL.
