Hi all,

I've been looking for the best way to achieve what is mentioned in the 
title of the message but haven't found any. At least not one that will 
produce a satisfactory result which can be used further down in the same 
playbook. 

For example I've been testing the following loop:

    - name: create instance
      ec2: image="{{ images[item.0.region] }}"
           keypair={{ keypair }}
           instance_type={{ instance_type }}
           instance_tags="{{ tags }}"
           vpc_subnet_id={{ item.1.subnet }}
           region={{ item.0.region }}
           group_id={{ group_id }}
           assign_public_ip=yes
           wait=true
           wait_timeout={{ wait_timeout }}
      with_subelements:
        - vpc 
        - subnets
      when: item.0.name == ec2_env
      register: ec2_info

which does what I want, launches one instance per AZ in the chosen region, 
but the output registered is way too complicated to be of any use:

    }
}

So, any idea how to make this usable? Or maybe share your experience if you
