Using dynamic inventory

As we have established in previous chapters, managing a text-based inventory can be a pain. There are chances that a manually managed inventory can consist of stale data that can impact our applications. Ansible provides dynamic inventory to address this.

Ansible's GitHub repository has scripts for various infrastructure providers, including a script for DigitalOcean (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/contrib/inventory/digital_ocean.py).

How to do it...

We need to download this script and configure it to use our credentials:

$ curl https://github.com/ansible/ansible/raw/devel/contrib/inventory/digital_ocean.py > digital_ocean.py
$ chmod +x digital_ocean.py
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent...

Patawari

Aditya Patawari is a Systems Engineer by profession, and just loves to play around with Linux and other open source technologies. He works on various parts of system lifecycles, and handles infrastructure automation and scaling of applications. He is also a contributor at Fedora project, and can be heard talking about the same along with the Linux systems automation at several conferences and events. He has worked on Ansible both at BrowserStack.com where he leads a team of systems engineers and at Fedora Project. I would like to thank my family with being patient with me. I would also appreciate my colleagues at BrowserStack for their support and my fellow contributors at Fedora Project who taught me so much. Lastly, a big thanks to all my friends for being there for me when I just could not manage it all.
