=========
A simple Ansible role creates the inventory file using AWS regions and tags.
- Create inventory file;
Requirements
Install:
python-boto
python-boto3

Attention
If the public DNS is dynamic, the ansible_host option is only filled when the server is started.
Create inventory groups using tags modify as you use them in your environment.
In my case I used it as follows in ec2_instances_facts.yml.

"tag:Environment": Homologation
filters:
"tag:Environment": Development
