Thoroughly confused :(

I have Packer and Ansible installed on an Amazon Linux EC2 instance. I am 
able to use Packer from that instance to create an Amazon Linux image. 

I am trying to configure the Ansible provisioner to install software on the 
image but don't have/or want to install Ansible on the image: ansible 
remote. 

My playbook is in the same directory as my Packer JSON file. I have not 
configured an inventory file because I don't know what IP address the IP 
address of the newly created image. 



- hosts: default
  gather_facts: True
  user: ec2-user
  sudo: True

  tasks:
    - name: "update"
      yum:
        name: httpd
        state: latest
