This inventory module is based on the shade library like the new os_ modules. It shares the ability to configure itself from os-client-config configuration files or from the standard OS_ environment variables. More importantly the guts of the code to get the server vars is now shared with os_compute_facts. This means that playbooks that provision compute hosts and then want to run plays on them can refer to server variables in exactly the same way whether the provsioning play ran first or whether the play ran in the context of a pre-existing inventory. |

ansible-plugins
You can extend ansible with optional callback and connection plugins.
callbacks
Callbacks can be used to add logging or monitoring capability, or just make interesting sound effects.
Drop callback plugins in your ansible/lib/callback_plugins/ directory.
connections
Connection plugins allow ansible to talk over different protocols.
Drop connection plugins in your ansible/lib/runner/connection_plugins/ directory.
inventory
Inventory plugins allow you to store your hosts, groups, and variables in any way you like. Examples include discovering inventory from EC2 or pulling it from Cobbler. These could also be used to interface with LDAP or database.
chmod +x an inventory plugin and either name it /etc/ansible/hosts or use ansible with -i to designate the path to the plugin.
