+module: ec2_ubuntu_ami
+short_description: Retrieve AWS AMIs for official Ubuntu images
+description:
+  - The Ubuntu project maintains a list of the latest version of Ubuntu images on EC2 accessible via http.
+  - This module retrieves the AMI for a given Ubuntu release by making an http query against the appropriate cloud-images.ubuntu.com url and parsing the output.
+  - For example: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/precise/server/released.current.txt has information about Ubuntu 12.04 (precise pangolin) release, server edition.
+  - Returns C(ami), C(aki), C(ari), C(serial), C(tag)
+  - If there is no AKI or ARI associated with an image, these will be C(null).
+  - Example output: C({"ami": "ami-69f5a900", "changed": false, "aki": "aki-88aa75e1", "tag": "release", "ari": null, "serial": "20131024"})
