Hey ,

I want to retrieve internal IP / hostname of EC2 machine which hase some tags.  
How can i retrieve based on tags?

I was reading this : [docs.ansible.com/intro\_dynamic\_inventory.html#example-aws-ec2-external-inventory-script./](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_dynamic_inventory.html#example-aws-ec2-external-inventory-script./) , but this requires “host” argument , which i do not want to use.

Thanks,  
Pradeep
