Description of problem: CEE *cannot* support reference architectures if ansible hosts file is not saved on disk for maintenance activities to be run post install Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.3.0+ Additional info: Currently, hosts files are saved in-memory. However, when the hosts file is required for maintenance -- scaleup, certificate redeploy, and other playbooks, this is not possible or at least not documented. If an issue arises that requires running playbooks, there is *no* documented way to do so.
PR is in place https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible-contrib/pull/252
PR has been merged and the directions to generate the static inventory are defined in the Reference Architecture document and on github https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible-contrib/tree/master/reference-architecture/gce-ansible#creating-a-static-inventory
I feel like this should be closed as GCE and AWS both now have the ability to generate static inventory files. @scollier do you have the ability to change status on this?
Talked to Ryan and this one has been fixed.
