Hi folks,

For some reason a single host in an ELB pool was reported by the ec2\_elb module as not belong to any ELBs, was dropped from the ELB, however since “changed" was False, the playbook never added it back and caused a minor interruption. The only rather suspicious clue I see is that there are two logs for the module running right before it reports no changes.

Anyone notice this before? This is ansible 1.4.x

Thx!

The latest stable version of Ansible is 1.5.3 and contains several months of changes beyond what is in the 1.4.X line.

If you see problems after trying this on 1.5.3 or the development branch head please file a ticket.

Thanks!
