Here is the list: # http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.instance # Below are 2 variables that are used as the address of a server: # - destination_variable # - vpc_destination_variable # This is the normal destination variable to use. If you are running Ansible # from outside EC2, then 'public_dns_name' makes the most sense. If you are # running Ansible from within EC2, then perhaps you want to use the internal # address, and should set this to 'private_dns_name'. The key of an EC2 tag # may optionally be used; however the boto instance variables hold precedence # in the event of a collision. destination_variable = public_dns_name # For server inside a VPC, using DNS names may not make sense. When an instance # has 'subnet_id' set, this variable is used. If the subnet is public, setting # this to 'ip_address' will return the public IP address.
