Release notes

Release 0.9.0 – Release the Matrix

This release brings two new modules and validates support for Ansible versions up to 2.13.

New features:

• New module - ec2_object.

• New module - ec2_object_info.

• Version support matrix - we now support a matrix of Ansible/Ansible Core and Python versions. See below for more info.

• s3_bucket now validates bucket names.

• s3_bucket can now recursively delete its child objects.

• ec2_instance can now infer the instance tenancy from the VPC in the module output.

Bug fixes:

• ec2_network_interface now only considers an attachment mandatory when creating or modifying an interface.

• Default values for monitoring and on_instance_initiated_shutdown in ec2_instance are removed so they do not cause unintended changes.

Misc

• Documentation rendering has been improved.

• Code quality updates for developer sanity.
