Hi,

I am testing to print ec2 instance public dns names by ansible.

- hosts: localhost  
connection: local

tasks:

- name: get instance public dns name  
ec2\_remote\_facts:  
region: ap-southeast-2  
filters:  
instance-state-name: running  
register: ec2

- debug: var=ec2.instances.public\_dns\_name

but i got " “ec2.instances.public\_dns\_name”: “VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!” .

where i m doing mistake?

Thanks  
Benjo
