Seems like this is actually a known issue for dynamic inventories. My workaround will break when the depreciated *ansible_ssh_host* var is no longer supported.
Note, it is possible to override *ansible_host* from the command line with *--extra-vars* which may end up being the better workaround in my case. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/18359#issuecomment-267540204 On Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 5:38:32 PM UTC-8, Ryan Fisher wrote: > > I'm creating a dynamic inventory using ec2.py (which is working great, > thanks!).
