Upstream? #7

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Are you considering to upstream this as an inventory plugin into Ansible, so that it is available to every user of Ansible right from the start?

nbering commented 5 years ago

No, I have no intention of upstreaming this because the plugin it supports isn't mainstream on the Terraform side, and the way the ecosystem works right now there's little prospect of that.

nbering commented 5 years ago

As for the plugin potential, that was addressed some time ago in #3, but I may look into making the switch if the support for inventory plugins has improved.

nbering commented 5 years ago

Doing some issue cleanup. My view on this hasn't really changed, so I'm going to close.

It's not that I wouldn't want it included in upstream, I just don't consider it practical to ask the Ansible team to commit to long-term maintenance of my little hacked-together script that services a rather small audience. If the audience grows or the terraform provider is adopted into the terraform-providers organization, it'd certainly put some weight behind committing upstream.
