ansible.builtin.auto (v2.9.4) — inventory

Loads and executes an inventory plugin specified in a YAML config

Authors: Matt Davis <@nitzmahone>

Install Ansible via pip

Install with pip install ansible==2.9.4

Description

By whitelisting C(auto) inventory plugin, any YAML inventory config file with a C(plugin) key at its root will automatically cause the named plugin to be loaded and executed with that config. This effectively provides automatic whitelisting of all installed/accessible inventory plugins.

To disable this behavior, remove C(auto) from the C(INVENTORY_ENABLED) config element.
