Docs Update: Dynamic Inventory File name is now `equinix.yaml` (not equinix_metal.yaml) #121

Open dlotterman opened 9 months ago

dlotterman commented 9 months ago
SUMMARY

In the earlier Equinix Metal Ansible collection, the filename for the dynamic inventory file was something like equinix_metal.yaml which was enforced by the inventories verify_file() function.

That looks to have been moved to just being equinix.yaml or variations in this new Ansible collection and the documentation here: https://github.com/equinix-labs/ansible-collection-equinix/blob/main/docs/inventory/metal_device.rst#id1

I can push an update soon just wanted to tag it

ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME

dynamic inventory

t0mk commented 9 months ago

@dlotterman thanks for bringing it up. I think the dynamic inventory is broken (since the inception of the new collection). Do you have a use-case for the dyn inv?

vcastellm commented 6 months ago

What do you mean a use-case @t0mk? Dynamic inventory is necessary to manage any ephemeral setup, in my case, the cluster is rebuilt every x time, destroyed, re-created and re-configured again.

@vcastellm I only meant to ask if it's something that Dan actually needed. It seems it is for you. I'll try to fix it.
