</div>

is that possible?

I want to do something like this:  
vpc\_destination\_variable: “{{ ip\_address if ec2\_platform == ‘windows’ else private\_ip\_address }}”

what I want is, that if I have a windows ec2, that connection will be with public IP address - other will be private IP.

Thanks.

Yes,

Try something like this:

vpc\_destination\_variable: “{% if ec2\_platform == ‘windows’ %}{{ ip\_address }}{% else %}{{ private\_ip\_address }}{% endif %}”
