Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Feature: Enable installer to use an inventory specified as a directory rather than just a single file. Reason: Customers with production clusters often find it easier to manage their inventory as multiple files in a directory. Result: This adds a parameter INVENTORY_DIR to the openshift-ansible image such that the user can indicate that ansible-playbook should use a mounted inventory directory.

Description Eric Sauer 2017-10-05 10:17:56 EDT

Description of problem:

The current ose-ansible (or origin-ansible) image only supports passing a single file to -i like `ansible-playbook -i /path/to/hosts playbook.yml`. This prevents a user from any kind of more advanced usage of ansible inventories, such as a hybrid dynamic/static style inventory, which is becoming fairly common in the field.

I would like to add support for an INVENTORY_DIR variable that handles a directory instead of a single file.

Here's a test of the PR to show that it works: http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/522141

Comment 3 Wenkai Shi 2017-10-19 06:03:49 EDT

Verified with ose-ansible image tag v3.6.173.0.56-1(f4b5ddbbde9b), it's support INVENTORY_DIR variable now.
