# This can be very hard to debug if it fails, as the `no_log` is required in
# order to prevent app secrets from being exposed.
#
# Known causes to investigate when this task fails:
#
# - AWS secrets with malformed JSON (even ones unrelated to the service being
# built). Possibly also references in ansible/vars/ to nonexistent AWS secrets.
