This playbook provisions a LAMP server in EC2 instances. Its a single playbook with default variables inside default/main.yml so you may change the values as required. This repo uses an Ubuntu AMI by default, so we need to explicitly mention python3 for ansible to run, which is given in group_vars/all.yml.
The playbook has two plays, the first one provisions the instances and the second one will install and configure packages. The second play has two host groups webservers and tag_Name_lamp. Both host groups have the same targets but the former makes ansible to select the hosts from the in-memory inventory created by the first play when instances are launched. The second group is used when the playbook is run at a later time when the instances are already provisioned and it uses the tag assigned to the instances.
