Nor the link - [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/contrib/inventory](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/contrib/inventory) works which all users on youtube vedios and web blogs used. May be domain changed ? Neither raw github user content domain worked instead [github.com](http://github.com) in this URL. ---

Hi Parth, You are using docs which are not official docs. Also, EC2 external inventory script is replaced by aws\_ec2 inventory plugin. You can find it here - [https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/blob/main/plugins/inventory/aws\_ec2.py](https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/blob/main/plugins/inventory/aws_ec2.py) ---

Has script been tested and working fine ? I am getting syntax error.

Hi Parth, 1. Where did you get ec2.py? 2. Why are you doing chmod ? Please refer [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/inventory.html#using-inventory-plugins](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/inventory.html#using-inventory-plugins) for using aws\_ec2 dynamic inventory plugin. ---

ec2.py is deprecated and it is based upon a deprecated version of boto. Please use aws\_ec2 as it is based upon the latest version of a boto and provides additional features.
