Make Host and Host group parameters Ansible variables

[dLobatog]

I think it'd be useful to access Foreman parameters as Ansible variables we can use in playbooks:

Something like this:

coreos-local-media.lobatolan.home etcd=https://discovery.etcd.io/a7b895a9491c2e2907a11b5a4104e470
[lobatolan.home-base/CoreOS cluster]
coreos-local-media.lobatolan.home 
[lobatolan.home-base/CoreOS cluster:vars]
ansible_python_interpreter="PATH=/home/core/bin:$PATH python"
ansible_ssh_user=core

Agreed. Is there a simpler way than using

/api/v2/hosts/:hostid/parameters

and /api/v2/hostgroups/:hostgroupid

and combining these? I.e. is there a single call that resolves the values? Cheers, -- Guidob

I think that'd be the way to go, yes. If it's really tough to do we can add another endpoint on foreman_ansible to serve these parameters or something like that, but ideally the API should suffice
