Hi All,
I’m trying to create a terminate AWS EC2 play using the dynamic inventory script but I keep getting fatal: [remote_host_ip]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “boto required for this module”}.
I created the instance using another play and that works perfectly.
My terminate play looks like this:
- name: Find instances
hosts: tag_Environment_goji
gather_facts: False
tasks:
- name: Create group
group_by: key=mark_terminate
- hosts: mark_terminate
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Terminate instance(s)
ec2:
profile: china
region: cn-north-1
instance_ids: “{{ ec2_id }}”
state: absent
I’m running Ansible 2.0.0-beta.
I run the playbook using this from my local laptop:
ansible-playbook -i china_aws_inventory/ec2.py roles/terminate_environment.yml -e “env=goji” --limit tag_Environment_goji -vvvv
Using /Users/Etherdaemon/personal/coderepos/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
2 plays in roles/terminate_environment.yml

The part I’m confused about is that I thought connection: local ran the terminate command from my local laptop - not from the remote host I want to terminate? The above output look like it’s trying to run it from the remote??
If I change hosts to localhost in the playbook then I get skipping: no hosts matched when trying to find the instances.
If I run the inventory first using python china_aws_inventory/ec2.py --refresh-cache it finds all the instances, but running the play still says skipping due to no hosts found.
I’m running on:
- MAC OSX 10.10.5
- Ansible v2.0.0-0.3.beta1
- boto: 2.38.0
Launch scripts using the same ec2 module and boto profile works fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.
