Yes, I just opened a pull request for a module I've written to aid in tasks
like this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/6349
Example:
- name: Obtain list of existing stopped instances with tag 'environment'
equal to 'prod'
local_action:
module: ec2_instance_facts
states:
- stopped
tags:
environment: "prod"
region: "{{ vpc_region }}"
aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
register: instance_facts
ignore_errors: yes
- name: Start the stopped instances
local_action:
module: ec2
state: running
instance_ids: "{{ item.id }}"
wait: yes
wait_timeout: 600
region: "{{ vpc_region }}"
aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"
with_items: instance_facts.instances
