I'll try to be more clear on the issue.  We have 8 tags/groups per 
environment (staging/production) in different vpcs that need services 
provisioned and updated in EC2:

webservers
databases
dashboards
etc...

Since you can not use a variable from /etc/ansible in the 'hosts:' setting 
in a playbook, we can either 

- use different group names for each environment (and hence need different 
plays per)
- ideally, use the same tag_Name setting across environments and rely on 
the ec2.py/ini combo to filter for the right instances based on vpc subnet 
id

The second case is preferable, but despite filtering by vpc_id in ec2.py, 
the 'exact_count' setting in the ec2 module for provisioning looks at the 
number of instances tagged across vpcs.  

Does anyone know of a way to make it only consider the instances that pass 
the instance filters from the dynamic inventory script?
