Note: This is not the Consul by HashiCorp it is a different project: http://consulproject.org/
I'm not sure if this is a specific problem to the consul project or if anyone with knowledge of Ansible and EC2 would be able to solve it.
I am trying to deploy a Consul instance to an Amazon EC2 instance via the Installer. I've followed the instructions found here: https://github.com/consul/installer
I'm doing this from a Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 which has Python 2.7 installed on it.
I downloaded the .pem file from AWS which is a Private Key for SSH authentication. I can SSH into the server via ssh -i [path to .pem file] ec2-user@[ip address of EC2 instance]
I've installed Ansible. When I run:
sudo ansible-playbook -v consul.yml -i hosts
"Please login as the user \"ec2-user\" rather than the user \"root\".\r\n\r\n"
However, I have edit my group_vars/all file to include root_access: false so I'm not really sure what else needs to be done.
My git diff looks like this from the repository:
