Here is a bizarre Ansible / AWS error I just found:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encrypted'
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_prCPvG/ansible_module_ec2_ami.py\", line 560, in <module>\n    main()\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_prCPvG/ansible_module_ec2_ami.py\", line 552, in main\n    create_image(module, ec2)\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_prCPvG/ansible_module_ec2_ami.py\", line 381, in create_image\n    bd = BlockDeviceType(**device)\nTypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encrypted'\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE"}

A quick google revealed this solution:

pip install boto –upgrade

which I had to execute as:

sudo pip install boto –upgrade
