You could set tags on EC2 instances, and use those to classify them. You might write a new fact called e.g. ec2_server_role, that reads in a tag from the server, then use that fact (possibly in the default node definition, depending on how you do things) to decide what role the node has.
Writing custom facts: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.4/custom_facts.html I'd recommend writing your fact in a module that Puppet can distribute by pluginsync, so you don't have to worry about pushing this custom fact script to nodes. Alternatively there may well be existing modules on the Forge which can expose tags as facts for you.
