I don't think this works in Ansible. The ec2 functionality seems very 
marginal and defective. I split the playbooks into two parts. The first 
spins up the instance. Then I go to the aws console to assign the correct 
IAM role to the instance as I can't figure out how to do this in Ansible. 
Then I run 

ssh {IP or name} "test -e /usr/bin/python || (apt -qqy update && apt 
install -qqy python-minimal)" 

to install python 2.x so Ansible can run commands on the machine. Then I 
can run the second playbook to configure the server.
