Just as a follow-up to my own question.
ec2.py --list shows the tag I am looking for.
"ec2_tag_sshkey": "7479",
With this knowledge. What would be the best approach to execute
ansible-playbook and pass that value as --private-key=PRIVATE_KEY_FILE ?
Or use that value within the playbook, previously I was using
ec2_remote_facts but that requires knowing how to connect prior to
execution.
- name: Current EC2 Key
debug:
msg: "{{ ec2_remote_facts.instances[0].tags.sshkey }}"
register: previous_key
ignore_errors: yes
Thanks
Zach
