Franck Cuny 6294264dc4 Add credential parameters to the GCE modules. In order to simplify the workflow with the GCE modules, it's now possible to add the parameters and project name as arguments to the various GCE modules. The inventory plugin also returns the IP of the host in `ansible_ssh_host` so that you don't have to specify IPs into the inventory file. Some update to the documentation are also added. Closes #5583.		2014-03-04 19:27:49 -08:00

README.md

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.
