Hello Guys,
I want run stopped ec2 instance using count_tag and exact_count and not using instance_ids.

`

  • name: launch ec2 instance
    ec2:
    instance_type: m3.medium
    key_name: “{{ec2_key}}”
    group: web
    image: “{{ec2_ami}}”
    vpc_subnet_id: subnet-8c16c0d5
    instance_tags:
    Name: “{{ec2_hostname}}”
    exact_count: 1
    count_tag:
    Name: “{{ec2_hostname}}”
    region: eu-west-1
    wait: yes
    assign_public_ip: yes
    aws_access_key: “{{aws_access_key}}”
    aws_secret_key: “{{aws_secret_key}}”
    #state: running
    register: ec2
    always_run: yes

`

using count_tag and exact_count working properly, but it conflict with state.

If I run playbook when instance stopped - I get new instance.

How to resolve my issue?
Thanks
