Greetings. I am using ansible's ec2 module here to spin up instances. With: python-boto-2.5.2-3.el6.noarch euca2ools-2.1.3-1.el6.noarch everything works as expected. With: euca2ools-2.1.3-2.el6.noarch python-boto-2.9.9-2.el6.noarch I get a traceback: invalid output was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1377890460.82-182712855679615/ec2", line 1300, in <module> main() File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1377890460.82-182712855679615/ec2", line 287, in main grp_details = ec2.get_all_security_groups() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/boto/ec2/connection.py", line 2266, in get_all_security_groups [('item', SecurityGroup)], verb='POST') File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/boto/connection.py", line 1062, in get_list response = self.make_request(action, params, path, verb) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/boto/connection.py", line 1008, in make_request return self._mexe(http_request) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/boto/connection.py", line 927, in _mexe raise e socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known Happy to provide more info or debugging...
Let me guess: you're pointing this at a Eucalyptus or Nova server with a self-signed certificate. :-) Boto started verifying server certificates by default in version 2.6.0, so if your client doesn't recognize the server's signature chain that is probably the culprit. What we need to do is figure out how to get ansible to pass validate_certs=False to its call to boto.connect_ec2_endpoint. I don't think that's currently configurable, so I suspect a real fix will involve a patch to ansible's ec2 module. For the time being you can work around this change by writing this to the [Boto] section of ~/.boto: https_validate_certificates = False
Yep. Thats exactly the problem. ;)
Filed a bug for the real fix upstream: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3978
The actual fix for this will need to be part of an ansible update. Reassigning...
