Hi,

I have a problem while creating aws vpc from mac os x but the exact same command/role is working from ubuntu.

Steps that I have already taken on Mac OS X:

  • update the time using ntp
  • upgrade the ansible to version 2
  • downgrade the ansible to version 1.9.1,1.9.2,1.9.3 and 1.9.4
  • boto version is 2.38.0

With all above changes, I am getting this error:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts aws.yml -vvvv

@Brain, your valuable feedback here please?

I have figured out that there was an AWS credentials inside my environment which was not valid. I run the env command to find this.
