So the ec2\_remote\_facts has been great at getting the facts, but because it has to run against localhost, I have to run it as a separate play and can’t use the registered information in a play run against other hosts. How can I transfer that registered variable to the new play/different hosts? The module seems fairly useless if you can’t access that information anywhere other than localhost… But I suspect I have overlooked a way to do this.
