Re: [ansible-project] Inventory updates not appearing after provisioning ec2 instance

Having a look at the inventory file immediately after the machine is provisioned, it does in fact update correctly. However it appears that the inventory file is run/read only once at the beginning of a playbook, so it will not reflect the new host if the deploy playbook is run by including it

Yeah currently we have the inventory module using one python module and the provisioner users the other. Both are functional but would be nice to standardize for sure. I don't think it would replace "vsphere_guest" the module at all - we still want the module, but the module can be open to using

With Fedora I believe mirrormanager will pick something good for you based on GeoIP. There's even some cool magic for things like IBM internal mirrors if you work for IBM. Not sure about how CentOS works, but EPEL should be using this too. The issue is fastestmirror tends to take a while to figu

Yeah so even though it groups things in one transaction, it calls repoquery a lot because it wants to decide to be idempotent and not run the "update" commands for things it should not need to update. Seth believed this was the right way to go (RIP - you were awesome my friend and helped us immens

Please note the name of an ec2 tag group will be "ec2_tag_tagName_tagValue" not "tag_tagName_value". This is likely the problem. Using the inventory scripts on the development branch, the tag "ec2_tag_tagName" will also be available containing everything with that tag. Also, mixing dynamic inve
