INVENTORY

Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory.
This can be an YAML file, ini-like file, a script, directory, list, etc.
For additional options, see the documentation on https://docs.ansible.com/.

{% endif %}
ENVIRONMENT
-----------

The following environment variables may be specified.

{% if inventory %}
ANSIBLE_INVENTORY  -- Override the default ansible inventory sources

{% endif %}
{% if library %}
ANSIBLE_LIBRARY -- Override the default ansible module library path

{% endif %}
ANSIBLE_CONFIG -- Specify override location for the ansible config file

Many more are available for most options in ansible.cfg

For a full list check https://docs.ansible.com/. or use the `ansible-config` command.

FILES
-----

{% if inventory %}
/etc/ansible/hosts -- Default inventory file

{% endif %}
/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg -- Config file, used if present

~/.ansible.cfg -- User config file, overrides the default config if present

./ansible.cfg -- Local config file (in current working direcotry) assumed to be 'project specific' and overrides the rest if present.

As mentioned above, the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable will override all others.
