Ansible Collection - Db0 Inventories
This collection contains utilities for handling ansible inventories
The following inventory plugins are provided
execution_host
This inventory plugin will parse a specialized inventory file and create an ansible inventory output which contains only one host per technology specified based on what is active at the time
This is useful when using ansible to perform REST API calls on some service via a jumphost. This plugin allows you to specify any amount of jumphosts to use as failovers, but will only execute the code on one of them.
Sample inventory file and playbook
plugin: db0.inventories.execution_host
execution_hosts:
netapp_executor:
- nas-admin1
- nas-admin2
ilo_executor:
- linux-admin1
- linux-admin2
switch_executor:
- swadm1
- swadm2
- hosts: ilo_executor
[...]
In this example, the ilo_executor will always return linux-admin1 but if that goes down, it will return linux-admin2
Considerations
Currently this inventory if hardcoded to use /usr/bin/python3 as the ansible interpreter
