 description: 
      - This module fetches data from the metadata servers in ec2 (aws).
+       Eucalyptus cloud provides a similar service and this module should
+       work this cloud provider as well. 
 notes: 
     - Parameters to filter on ec2_facts may be added later.
-    Some of the facts are not returned ( like mapping of the devices - but 
-    may be added later).
 examples:
     - code: ansible all -m ec2_facts --tree /tmp/facts
