You need to put public ip address or hostname assigned by aws ec2 service, if your aws ec2 instance is public.
If your aws ec2 instance is located in vpc, you won't be able to connect it directly. Either you need to setup routing through internet gateway or you have to setup ansible server in vpc.
If the instance has Public IP address and its Security Group permits access from your IP use that to tell Ansible where to connect.
