Our appstore playbooks automate creation an ec2 instance to host appstore.

This works pretty great, except for the task in which we create a security group for the ec2.

See task "Create security group for {{ ec2_name }}" in https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/appstore-playbooks/src/master/roles/ec2/tasks/main.yml).

The task is working in that the security group is created correctly with all the proper permissions. However, whenever it runs, there is a very long pause and then a warning message is printed to the console. Also, the task is always listed as having changed even when the security group already exists and is properly configured.

Please look into why this is happening and figure out a way to make this task properly idempotent and execute faster.

Here is the warning message:
