Updated Aws Ansible, added elastic IP.

[Sagargupta16]

This pull request updates the AWS provisioning playbook to improve compatibility with the latest Ansible modules and enhance functionality. Key changes include replacing deprecated modules, adding register statements for debugging and tracking, and introducing Elastic IP (EIP) association for EC2 instances.

Updates to AWS Modules and Resource Management:

• Replaced deprecated community.aws.ec2_vpc_endpoint and amazon.aws.aws_s3 modules with amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_endpoint and amazon.aws.s3_object for better compatibility with the latest Ansible versions. [1] [2]
• Updated the amazon.aws.ec2 module to amazon.aws.ec2_instance for EC2 provisioning, introducing changes like detailed_monitoring, network configuration, and tags instead of instance_tags.

Debugging and State Tracking:

• Added register statements to multiple tasks (e.g., butane_ignition_stdout, forem_vpc_id_fact, forem_vpcd_route_table_ids_fact) to capture task outputs for debugging and downstream usage. [1] [2] [3]

Elastic IP Management:

• Introduced a new task to associate an Elastic IP (EIP) with the Forem EC2 instance, ensuring a static public IP for the instance. Updated the debug message to reflect the EIP association.

Minor Fixes and Enhancements:

• Fixed object key paths in S3 operations by removing unnecessary leading slashes. [1] [2]
• Improved clarity in debug messages by referencing the EIP's public IP instead of dynamically fetched instance IPs.

Neither jdoss or I work at Forem any longer; however @maestromac may be able to review this as/if his time allows.

I'm unsubscribing from this issue, so I won't see further replies in my inbox, but best of luck shepherding this through!
