Not super pretty, but something like this should work:
- local_action: ec2 region="{{ region }}" key_name="{{ key }}" {{ 'id="' +
idempotency_token + '"' if idempotency_token is defined else '' }}
The idea is that all YAML values are run through Jinja and you can use the
key-value syntax for a task, with a string that contains only the key-value
pairs you want.
