Will
Thank you.
Yes, you are correct, I had the wrong value for the argument I was using.
instance_profile_name=administrator
is now working for me.
The complete stanza is
- name: Launch instance
local_action: ec2 keypair={{ keypair }} instance_type={{ instance_type
}}
image={{ image }} region={{ region }}
aws_access_key={{ aws_access_key }}
aws_secret_key={{ aws_secret_key }}
group={{ security_group }} wait=true
instance_profile_name=administrator
register: ec2
Thanks much.
