Developing dynamic inventory plugins
Inventory plugins are bits of code that will create inventory data for an Ansible execution. In many environments, the simple ini file-style inventory source and variable structure are not sufficient for representing the actual infrastructure being managed. In such cases, a dynamic inventory source is desired, one that will discover the inventory and data at runtime at every execution of Ansible. A number of these dynamic sources ship with Ansible, primarily to operate Ansible with the infrastructure built into one cloud computing platform or another. A short, incomplete list of dynamic inventory plugins that ship with Ansible 4.3 (there are now over 40) includes the following – note from the FQCNs that many of these that were once shipped as part of the Ansible 2.x releases are now being included as part of the wider set of collections that form Ansible 4.3:
