Hi, I'm trying to associate AWS EC2 elastic IP address with instance but I'm getting the following error:

PLAY [EC2 instance] *********************************************************** 

TASK: [allocate a new elastic IP and associate it with an instance] *********** 
<localhost> REMOTE_MODULE ec2_eip instance_id=i-df641fa5 CHECKMODE=True
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
invalid output was: Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1386951606.06-256720336590639/ec2_eip", line 283, in main
    instance = find_instance(ec2, instance_id, module)

    reservations = ec2.get_all_reservations(instance_ids=[instance_id])
AttributeError: 'EC2Connection' object has no attribute 'get_all_reservations'

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** 
           to retry, use: --limit @/root/ec2.retry

localhost                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

My play looks as follows:

- name: EC2 instance
  hosts: local
  connection: local
  user: root
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:
    - name: allocate a new elastic IP and associate it with an instance
      ec2_eip: instance_id=i-df641fa5
      register: eip

OS: Debian 7.2
Ansible version is 1.5

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

What version of python-boto do you have installed?

3

2.3.0

4

Are you sure? boto 2.20.0 was only released yesterday.

https://github.com/boto/boto

5

Of course, boto version 2.3.0, not 2.30.0:

boto.Version
‘2.3.0’

I’ve already upgraded python-boto to the latest version 2.20.0 and everything works fine.
Thanks a lot for your help!

No problem. Glad you got it working!
