I've tried a LOT of things now, and have come to the conclusion that
ec2_instance_facts requires a literal filter name, at least in the case of
"tags:Name".
This makes that filter essentially useless :-(
Please, can someone tell me I'm wrong, and how me how to filter on a
tag:value pair passed in as a variable?
Thanks, K.
