* Add ability to append suffix to host names for Cloudforms Inventory Allows for use of a suffix that will be appended to host names returned from Cloudforms API if that suffix is not present. For example with a suffix of 'example.org', the following results would be shown for a particular Cloudforms host name: someexample -> someexample.example.org someexample.example.org -> someexample.example.org The main use-case for this is when Cloudforms has short names rather than FQDN and there is a desire to to use the FQDN as the name. * Add example line into Cloudforms INI file * Clarify that leading fullstop needed * Add validation to ensure leading fullstop for suffix |

Files here provide an extension mechanism for Ansible similar to plugins. They are not maintained by the Ansible core team or installed with Ansible.
inventory
Before 2.4 introduced inventory plugins, inventory scripts were the only way to provide sources that were not built into Ansible. Inventory scripts allow you to store your hosts, groups, and variables in any way you like.
Starting with Ansible version 2.4, they are enabled via the 'script' inventory plugin. Examples of use include discovering inventory from EC2 or pulling it from Cobbler. These could also be used to interface with LDAP or the database.
chmod +x an inventory plugin and either name it /etc/ansible/hosts or use ansible -i /path/to/inventory/script. You might also need to copy a configuration file with the same name and/or set environment variables. The scripts or configuration files can provide more details.
vault
If the file passed to --vault-password-file has the executable bit set, Ansible will execute it and use the stdout of that execution as 'the secret'.
Vault scripts provided here use this facility to retrieve the vault secret from a number of sources.
