Salt-ssh with the ec2 contrib grain - trying to render grain data

run_info.md

Trying to get the grain info into a file on the disk of the target system (good IMO for the repetetive style of debugging runs):

[CRITICAL] Rendering SLS 'base:cassandra.raid' failed: Unknown yaml render error; line 7

# as an option, too.
/tmp/disks:
  file.append:
    - text: |
      {'ami': 'sda1', 'root': '/dev/sda1', 'ephemeral0': 'sdb'}

The state that's causing this is really simple:

# This recipe could be invoked selecively via targeting at the top
# as an option, too.
{% set ec2 =  salt['grains.get']('ec2') -%}

/tmp/disks:
  file.append:
    - text: |
      {{ ec2.block_device_mapping }}

The run is invoked via salt-ssh:

salt-ssh -l info host -i --roster-file host-roster --priv key state.sls cassandra.raid
