Hi,  
I've configured aws ec2 instance as specified in the guide.  
But when I'm running bin/elasticsearch -f the output doesn't shows me that  
ec2 discovery is actually working and output is next :

on the descovery output I don't see ec2 "annotation" at all, what could be  
wrong with my configuration ? I did exactly the next , but i didn't  
configure the gateway (yet)

cluster.name: es-demo  
cloud:  
aws:  
access\_key:   
secret\_key:   
discovery:  
type: ec2
