+(elastic ip anonymized)

+

+I'm trying to associate an eip to an instance with the eip execution module. It works fine in us-east-1, but not in us-west-2. The ip in question [4.10.23.1] is in fact in us-west-2 and is currently associated to that minion.

+

+Here is the template, should work in any region

+

+```

+{% import 'global/settings.sls' as global with context %}

+

+{% if global.eip is defined %}

+# we have to use the execution module for this

+# as there is no state module for eip's

+ec2.associate_eip_address:

+  module.run:

+    - name: boto_ec2.associate_eip_address

+    - instance_id: {{ global.instance_id }}

+    - public_ip: {{ global.eip }}

+    - kwargs: {

+          public_ip: {{ global.eip }},

+          allow_reassociation: 'true',

+          region: {{ global.region }},

+          instance_id: {{ global.instance_id }}

+    }

+{% endif %}

+```

+

+this renders correctly on the minion and sets the region:

+

+```

+US-WEST-2-minion # salt-call cp.get_template salt://ec2/elastic-ip.sls /dev/stdout

+

+# we have to use the execution module for this

+# as there is no state module for eip's

+ec2.associate_eip_address:

+  module.run:

+    - name: boto_ec2.associate_eip_address

+    - instance_id: i-08572e62c97063af7

+    - public_ip: 4.10.23.1

+    - kwargs: {

+          public_ip: 4.10.23.1,

+          allow_reassociation: 'true',

+          region: us-west-2,

+          instance_id: i-08572e62c97063af7

+    }

+

+local:

+    /dev/stdout

+```

+

+yet when running the sls, I get this message, which is what I believe I'd get if I'd set the region wrong. FYI, this works fine in us-east-1 (with us-east-1 elastic ips).

+

+```

+US-WEST-2-minion # salt-call -l info state.apply ec2.elastic-ip (snipped out irrelevant lines)
