[ansible-project] ec2_group does not honor region or ec2_url parameter

Hi all, I am using Ansible 1.9.2 and when I was in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/core/cloud/amazon and grep for region or ec2_url I did not see any real mention of either these in the codes. grep 'ec2_url\|region' ec2_group.py region: - the EC2 region to use

I have to say this is in my top 5 biggest ansible yak shavings. So many times I just need to pass configuration directly to a role which would to_json or to_yaml it. But I cannot because of this bug. Hence I need to parse out every little variable all the way down the structure ensuring that in

There are several ways, the easiest is if your inventory script provides OS info: remote_user: "{{ansible_distibution == 'Fedora'|ternary('fedora', 'root') If you have no info ahead of time you can test connecting and then use group_by (example below) or the same expression above on the result va
