Is it possible to provision EC2 instances with multiple interfaces? From reading the docs, there is no indication that this is possible, and from the code[1](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/blob/devel/cloud/amazon/ec2.py#L828-L840), it looks like it is not possible, but I figured I should ask in case I am missing something.

Thanks,  
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I believe you are correct - the ec2 module does not appear to support multiple interfaces at this time. Please feel free to open a feature request on GitHub for this (in the ansible/ansible-modules-core repository), as I’m sure it’s something others may be interested in as well.

Thanks!
