I'm trying to remove certain ec2 hosts from having ansible run on them by using the instance_filters and/or pattern_exclude options in the ini file for ec2.py, but it doesn't seem to be working. I tried using the following syntax for instance_filters:
instance_filters = "tag:Environment=prod,!Platform=windows" However when I run a playbook it gives me the following error: The filter '!Platform' is invalid", while: getting EC2 instances inventory/prod/ec2.py:3: Error parsing host definition ''''': No closing quotation I removed the double quotes and I get a similar error: The filter '~Platform' is invalid", while: getting EC2 instances inventory/prod/ec2.py:3: Error parsing host definition ''''': No closing quotation I also tried changing them to single quotes but once again got yet another slightly different error: The filter ''tag:Environment' is invalid", while: getting EC2 instances inventory/prod/ec2.py:3: Error parsing host definition ''''': No closing quotation Meanwhile, I tried playing with pattern_exclude instead. I added the following: pattern_exclude = '*-ad' When I run this, it still tries to excute the playbook on servers whose names match the pattern 'example-ec2-ad'. What am I doing wrong here?
