Made the modification still no luck: ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/local Dev-Test-IAM-pwr.yaml ERROR! playbooks must be a list of plays The error appears to have been in /Dev-Test-IAM-pwr.yaml’: line 3, column 1, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: ---

Looks like a spacing issue. Your list of tasks needs to be indented two spaces. ---

Ok I ran by using the command `ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/local Dev-Test-IAM.yml` Is that the fault? Do I need to specifically call the module into play? Example: the EC2\_Group in the past the module was called out in the yml file. But I see that has changed. ` ---

Is the file that you're showing here a playbook, or a role file? If it's a playbook, it needs more stuff than just the list of tasks.

Yep that was it, thanks for the pointer! This throws errors but this is the right direction. `
