Hi,  
I want to install tomcat server on an ec2 instance. Can I use the simple method of provisioning an instance without any vpc and using a default security group?

If yes, can anyone send me a sample playbook to do it?

Thanks and Regards,  
Chethan Aravind

Choose VPC and security group — this is question not for Ansible, but for your AWS architecture.  
If you don’t know, then I recommend you create VPC and separate security group.
