Hello, i’m trying to get instance information, but my inventory has ignored by ansible\ec2 modules.

/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

`  
[inventory]

# enable inventory plugins, default: ‘host\_list’, ‘script’, ‘auto’, ‘yaml’, ‘ini’, ‘toml’

#enable\_plugins = host\_list, virtualbox, yaml, constructed  
enable\_plugins = aws\_ec2  
`  
My inventory:

`  
plugin: aws\_ec2  
regions:

- ap-northeast-2  
filters:  
“tag:Name”:
- “instance1”
- “instance2”  
`  
Im my config i use default region us-east-1.  
my task:

`

- hosts: localhost  
gather\_facts: False  
tasks:

- name: get instance info  
ec2\_instance\_info:  
filters:  
instance-state-name: [“running”]

- name: List of instances  
debug:  
msg: “{{ instances }}”  
`  
And whatever region i use, i’m always get info from my config region us-east, when ansible-inveintory stil give me right information about instances in ec\_aws plugin.

I want to use 2-3 inventory one by region. But always get default region info. Please help =)
