We've recently had to add multiple security groups to an ec2 instance, but 
based on the host group, it needs to be a different set of groups.
I see that you can do this by using an array list like so:

  - name: launch
      local_action:
        module: ec2
        region: us-west-2
        keypair: xxxxx
        group: ['mygroup1', 'mygroup2', 'mygroup3']
        instance_type: t1.micro 
        image: ami-xxxxxx
        wait: yes
        wait_timeout: 3500
        count: 2
        instance_tags: '{"Name":"stuff"}'
      register: ec2

This will work fine when hard coded, but when i replace the list with a 
variable it does seem to detect the groups. What am I doing wrong?

  - name: launch
      local_action:
        module: ec2
        region: us-west-2
        keypair: xxxxx
        group: "{{ my_groups }}"
        instance_type: t1.micro 
        image: ami-xxxxxx
        wait: yes
        wait_timeout: 3500
        count: 2
        instance_tags: '{"Name":"stuff"}'
      register: ec2

and set my_groups as:
my_groups: ['mygroup1', 'mygroup2', 'mygroup3']

My guess is it has something to do with the quotes but if i remove it, I 
get an YAML complaint, I've tried it a number of different ways without 
success. Any ideas?

Thanks!
