Hey All,
Our corporate overlords have deemed it prudent to not allow IP addresses to go out through our proxy. So we cannot ssh to an IP address and have to use the FQDN. The ec2.py script does not return the DNS record of the public IP of the server. It is always returning the public IP address even though I have set the following in ec2.ini:
destination_variable = public_dns_name
vpc_destination_variable = public_dns_name
Anybody know why?
Below is the full ec2.ini file.
Thanks,
Joe
Check «DNS Hostnames=Yes» in your VPC settings (not in Ansible).
Ok that fixed that issue! Thank you very much. However for some reason the first time I run ( or run again after a short period of time) the ping module against all hosts it fails on the first 2 hosts always fails with the same error. If i run it a second time right after it works just fine. Here is the error:
