Re: [ansible-project] Dynamic inventory cache

[Brian Coca]

in 2.1 ansible supports a yaml inventory file format, this can read json
but the format is not the same as the 'dynamic script' output.

While we don't have a global inventory cache, I'm saving the dynamic inv 
script output to a file, and using it between ansible runs. In order for 
this to work I have a hack which is an executable script that the only 
thing it does it "cat output.json". Is there a better way? Can ansible read 
directly the hosts from the json file or ir there a way to convert this 
json to the format ansible understands?

Thanks,
André

You've hit the nail on the head! We do have plans to make a 'inventory
cache' part of Ansible itself, currently its up to each script and of
course we have different implementations and some that don't implement any.

Since ansible already supports caching of facts shouldn't this also be a
job of ansible itself? Otherwise each dynamic inventory plugin will
implement it in a different way or not implement it at all...

I believe it would be up to the dynamic inventory script to implement the
caching functionality.

[ansible-project] Dynamic inventory cache

[André Cruz]

Hello all.

I'm using the Azure RM dynamic inventory script, which although it works 
fine, is very slow.

Is it possible to cache its results and reuse them on another invocation? 
Can I just dump the output of the script (JSON) and load it?

Thank you and best regards,
André
