INVENTORY
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory
|
|
file. The syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and
|
|
are included on their own line, enclosed in square brackets that
|
|
start the line.
|
|
|
|
Ranges of hosts are also supported. For more information and
|
|
additional options, see the documentation on http://docs.ansible.com/.
