History

Jesse Keating c47fd199bd Initial commit of rax inventory plugin The rax inventory plugin provides a way to discovery inventory in the Rackspace Public Cloud by way of pyrax, the official SDK. Grouping will be done if a group:name is found in the instance metadata. When a single host is queried all the instance details are returned with a rax_ prefix. Because inventory plugins cannot take extra arguments, ENV variables must be set to point to the pyrax compatible credentials file and the region to query against.		2013-03-30 23:04:07 -07:00

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.

contributions welcome
