Note
Requires boto
- name: associate an elastic IP with an instance

- name: allocate a new elastic IP inside a VPC in us-west-2
ec2_eip: region=us-west-2 in_vpc=yes

Note
This module will return public_ip on success, which will contain the public IP address associated with the instance.
Note
There may be a delay between the time the Elastic IP is assigned and when the cloud instance is reachable via the new address. Use wait_for and pause to delay further playbook execution until the instance is reachable, if necessary.
