About

This Ansible inventory script uses the OpenStack credentials in group_vars/openstack_instances to connect to an OpenStack compute service and get a list of servers. Then it opens the ./hosts file and uses the servers listed there to query OpenStack compute and obtain the ip address of each server, if they exist, by their name (as opposed to their uuid).

group_vars/openstack_instances

This inventory script expects that there will be an Ansible variable file called openstack_instances.

Hosts file format

Currently must look like this:

[openstack_instances]
servername flavor_id=int group=string

group_vars/openstack_instances

This script requires that your OpenStack credentials are in group_vars/openstack_instances.

Minimum playbook

The example playbook shows the minium needed to use this workflow.

In order to use nova_compute you will have to setup the proper variables as well.
