Store ec2 instance IP using ansible playbook

Question

I've created a few instances, now I need to store their IP's. How do I write a playbook get and save their IP's?

Hey @Himanshu, you can use something like this:

- name: Store EC2 instance IPs to provision against
  add_host:
    hostname: "{{ item.public_ip }}"
    groupname: ec2_instance_ips
  with_items: "{{ ec2_instances.tagged_instances }}"

Let me know if it helps :)

hostname will get stored in /etc/ansible/hosts file under the groupname: ec2_instance_ips ?

It depends on the path you have given. You can set your path as /etc/ansible/hosts.
