I am now using IAM role attached to the ec2 where AWX is running. When I run docker exec 0de4d8a3f2a2 python2 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/plugins/inventory/ec2.py in the awx\_task container. I am getting all the data related to RDS and cache in format: { “Multiple”: [ [//xxxxx.y9ryfm.cfg.use1.cache.amazonaws.com](https://xxxxx.y9ryfm.cfg.use1.cache.amazonaws.com) ], “\_meta”: { “hostvars”: { … so on, all details on RDS.
