Description

AWS [has indicated](https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947#issuecomment-793192340) that they will not continue to publish v2 of the CLI to PyPI. Instead it will be available as a standalone executable. We should check to see which version is being installed and either use `pip` for v1 or the standalone installer for v2.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Ansible role's current AWS CLI installation tasks and determine how the installed version is detected. Compare the existing pip path with AWS's standalone installer for v2, then verify that v1 and v2 each use the intended installation path and remain repeatable.
