Hello there.  
How about adding ec2 instance to multiple security groups? I figured out that it's impossible for now.  
So here is my fix: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/3171](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/3171)  
To not to break compatibility I've added new filed called "groups", so one can now do something like that: groups: [default, sshable, system-servers, and-so-forth]
