RE: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/5430
The intent here was to make it possible for users of the ec2 inventory module to be able to directly address hosts using groups in the format of '<tag>=<value>' The patch does not change existing behavior, and keeps the legacy format of host groups for tags to look like 'tag_<tag>_<value>' by default. Say I have a tag named 'role' across some subset of instances, and the value of this tag can be set to things like 'builder', 'packer' or 'shipper'. Using the ec2 inventory plugin as is, to run a playbook across all host instances whose 'role' tag is set to 'builder', one would need to: ansible-playbook -i ./inventory ./playbooks/builders.yml -l tag_role_builder It would be nice to simply be able to do: ansible-playbook -i ./inventory ./playbooks/builders.yml -l role=builder And now you can also define your playbooks to have: ---- hosts: role=builder .... That's all this pull request does, with no impact on backwards compatibility. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
