The best way to interact with your hosts is to use the gce inventory plugin, which dynamically queries GCE and tells Ansible what nodes can be managed.
Note that when using the inventory script ``gce.py``, you also need to populate the ``gce.ini`` file that you can find in the plugins/inventory directory of the ansible checkout.

To use the GCE dynamic inventory script, copy ``gce.py`` from ``plugins/inventory`` into your inventory directory and make it executable. You can specify credentials for ``gce.py`` using the ``GCE_INI_PATH`` environment variable -- the default is to look for gce.ini in the same directory as the inventory script.

As with all dynamic inventory plugins in Ansible, you can configure the inventory path in ansible.cfg. The recommended way to use the inventory is to create an ``inventory`` directory, and place both the ``gce.py`` script and a file containing ``localhost`` in it. This can allow for cloud inventory to be used alongside local inventory (such as a physical datacenter) or machines running in different providers.

Executing ``ansible`` or ``ansible-playbook`` and specifying the ``inventory`` directory instead of an individual file will cause ansible to evaluate each file in that directory for inventory.

If you use Amazon Web Services EC2, maintaining an inventory file might not be the best approach, because hosts may come and go over time, be managed by external applications, or you might even be using AWS autoscaling. For this reason, you can use the `EC2 external inventory <https://raw.github.com/ansible/ansible/devel/plugins/inventory/ec2.py>`_ script.

For this reason, you can use the `EC2 external inventory <https://raw.github.com/ansible/ansible/devel/contrib/inventory/ec2.py>`_ script.
You can use this script in one of two ways. The easiest is to use Ansible's ``-i`` command line option and specify the path to the script after
marking it executable::
ansible -i ec2.py -u ubuntu us-east-1d -m ping
The second option is to copy the script to `/etc/ansible/hosts` and `chmod +x` it. You will also need to copy the `ec2.ini <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/plugins/inventory/ec2.ini>`_ file to `/etc/ansible/ec2.ini`. Then you can run ansible as you would normally.
