AWS provision with ansible - amazon-web-services

Question

I am getting and error when I want to provision an ec2. This is how i set up my environment.
I put my aws credentials in ~/.boto
cat /etc/ansible/hosts
[local]
localhost
cat /etc/ansible/ec2-vars/testserver.yml
ec2_keypair: "ansible"
ec2_security_group: "sg-*******"
ec2_instance_type: "t2.micro"
ec2_image: "ami-********"
ec2_subnet_ids: ['subnet-*******','subnet-REDACTED','subnet-REDACTED']
ec2_region: "us-east-1"
ec2_tag_Name: "testserver"
ec2_tag_Type: "testserver"
ec2_tag_Environment: "development"
ec2_volume_size: 8
cat /etc/ansible/provision-ec2.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
user: root
pre_tasks:
- include_vars: ec2_vars/{{type}}.yml
roles:
- provision-ec2
cat /etc/ansible/roles/provision-ec2/tasks/main.yml
---
- name: Provision EC2 Box
local_action:
module: ec2
key_name: "{{ ec2_keypair }}"
group_id: "{{ ec2_security_group }}"
instance_type: "{{ ec2_instance_type }}"
image: "{{ ec2_image }}"
vpc_subnet_id: "{{ ec2_subnet_ids|random }}"
region: "{{ ec2_region }}"
instance_tags: '{"Name":"{{ec2_tag_Name}}","Type":" {{ec2_tag_Type}}","Environment":"{{ec2_tag_Environment}}"}'
assign_public_ip: yes
wait: true
count: 1
volumes:
- device_name: /dev/sda1
device_type: gp2
volume_size: "{{ ec2_volume_size }}"
delete_on_termination: true
register: ec2
- debug: var=item
with_items: ec2.instances
- add_host: name={{ item.public_ip }} >
groups=tag_Type_{{ec2_tag_Type}},tag_Environment_{{ec2_tag_Environment}}
ec2_region={{ec2_region}}
ec2_tag_Name={{ec2_tag_Name}}
ec2_tag_Type={{ec2_tag_Type}}
ec2_tag_Environment={{ec2_tag_Environment}}
ec2_ip_address={{item.public_ip}}
with_items: ec2.instances
- name: Wait for the instances to boot by checking the ssh port
wait_for: host={{item.public_ip}} port=22 delay=60 timeout=320 state=started
with_items: ec2.instances
Now I run the following command and this is what i get.
[root#ip-**-**-*** ansible]# ansible-playbook -vv -i localhost, -e "type=testservers" provision-ec2.yml
Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file

to retry, use: --limit #provision-ec2.retry
PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

You are mixing underscore and hyphen.
cat /etc/ansible/ec2-vars/testserver.yml
include_vars: ec2_vars/{{type}}.yml
