I haven’t used Ansible with AWS for a while.
I am using it on a new project. I see a newer option that didn’t used to be there:
hostname_variable = tag_Name
My understanding of this variable is that it will use the Name tag to name the host, while still using the i.p. address as the value of the ansible_host key.
E.g.
`
TASK [Get uptime] ***************************************
ok: [host01]
`
instead of
`
TASK [Get uptime] ***************************************
ok: [1.2.3.4]
`
However, setting that value in ec2.ini doesn’t appear to work (as I’d expect). Am I misunderstanding this, or possibly just doing something wrong?
