Setting Variable across multiple hosts blocks

Hello All,

I am having an issue when I set a fact, I am not able to see that fact after I have another host block in my playbook. I get the error variable is undefined. The issue occurs in my - name: Launch instance

Facts are set per host. You mix all with localhost.

What are you trying to do?

Thank you for the reply… I thought if I set host all at the top and then set the facts for host all it would work. I guess I would have to have localhost in my inventory file correct?

I am just trying to launch a ec2 instance in my playbook

The 'implicit localhost' is not part of ALL

The 'implicit localhost' is not part of ALL:
