Re: [ansible-project] Re: AWS_EC2 plugin keyed_groups suffix option
Never mind, I worked out that if I include the region (but not the
boto_profile parameter) then it works. Not sure why it's not using the
profile region defined in ~/.aws/config but it's not a big deal.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: AWS_EC2 plugin keyed_groups suffix option
Great, thanks! That seems to have worked.
One other question related to aws_ec2 - I usually pass the AWS_PROFILE var
on the command line when I call ansible, eg. "AWS_PROFILE=myawsprofile
./ansible-playbook -i inventory/prod/ playbooks/site.yml". However, with my
aws_ec2 inventory file, if I leave out the boto_profile and regions
variables the inventory list returns nothing. I have to explicitly include
these two parameters with a specific profile name and region in order for
it to return a list of my instances. I tried setting boto_profile:
'env:AWS_PROFILE' or just 'AWS_PROFILE' (in addition to just leaving it
out) but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Guy

Sure, just include the suffix in the key.
