To provide a bit more detail, if I have this in my inventory file;
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com ansible_ssh_user=ec2-user
ansible_ssh_pass=dummy
And run this;
$ ansible all -i inventory/aws -m ping -vvvv
No config file found; using defaults
Loaded callback minimal of type stdout, v2.0

Everything works ok, but if i set the inventory to;
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com ansible_ssh_user=ec2-user
$ ansible all -i inventory/aws -m ping -vvvv
