I am able to spin up servers with the ‘ec2’ module. I’m running Ansible 2.3.1.0 from source on Ubuntu.

╰─➤ dpkg -l | grep -i boto 2 ↵

  • name: aws | find latest ami for Ubuntu 16.04
    ec2_ami_find: name=“ubuntu/images/*” region=us-west-1 sort=name sort_order=descending state=availiable no_result_action=fail
    register: ami_find

…
“msg”: “No AMIs matched the attributes: {"state": "availiable", "name": "ubuntu/images/"}”
…

same thing if I use “ubuntu”. Putting “ubuntu/images/*” into the AWS us-west-1 console AMI search box results in 7,666 AMIs.

If I remove state=availiable I get:
“msg”: “template error while templating string: Expected an expression, got ‘end of print statement’. String: {{}}”

Any ideas?

If I spell ‘available’ correct I also get the template error.
