When executed ansible playbook it does not have any effect on the hosts mentioned.
I investigated with -vvv and found that it connects to another ec2 instance than intended.
I the example below, I created a file “/home/ubuntu/hello” intentionally on wrong ec2 instance and it proved me right.
Expected: error on TASK [command] but it succeeds.
Following is the output.
I want to connect to 10.224.149.135 also mentioned in “hosts:” in the playbook but it always connects to 10.224.149.183
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried my best over last couple of days but nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance.
