Question

Hi Guys,

I have installed the boto module in my system. I am trying to launch ec2 instance on AWS using Ansible-Playbook. But it is showing me the below error.

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No handler was ready to authenticate. 1 handlers were checked. ['HmacAuthV4Handler'] Check your credentials"}

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

When we try to login to AWS console through some third party program, then we need to give AWS access key and password. But it seems that you provided the wrong credentials or you did not provide any credentials. So I suggest you create one IAM user on AWS and provide the credentials in your Ansible-Playbook.
