Assuming your first task returns an ip address, if you want to reference
it, you'd need to use {{ ip.stdout }}. Alternately, you could use
the http://docs.ansible.com/uri_module.html instead of using curl, and you
could just use {{ ip }}.
You'll also have to add it to the inventory before you could use it on the
following play, see the http://docs.ansible.com/add_host_module.html module.
If you want extra credit, write a module for your API that provisions
instances and a dynamic inventory script :).
