Hi

While trying to debug some issues (notably trying to add several security
groups to an EC2 instance), I once again ran into the question about which
ansible module to use to for EC2 instances.

>From the docs it appears that both the ec2 and the ec2_instance module are
supported, with the latter being the newest, and they do largely the same
things.
I've shuffled around the ec2_instance task into an ec2 task, and I was able
to get that to work with multiple security groups.
But now I'm having a hard time getting this new ec2 task to be idempotent,
and also the way that IP addresses are assigned is more limited than
ec2_instance.

I'm wary of picking the "old" ec2 module for my tasks, or mixing the two,
because I suspect ec2 might get deprecated some time soon in favor of the
ec2_instance module.

I couldn't find any statement or road map on this topic - is there a long
term plan or a road map wrt the two EC2 modules? If so, I can at least make
a sound decision on where to spend energy, also in terms of fixing issues.


thx
