Adding an inventory

Now that we have the credentials in place, we need to recreate the content of the inventory file called production within Ansible Tower. As a reminder, the file looks like the following:

# Register all of the host groups we will be creating in the playbooks
[ec2_instance]
[already_running]

# Put all the groups into into a single group so we can easily apply one config to it for overriding things like the ssh user and key location
[aws:children]
ec2_instance
already_running

# Finally, configure some bits to allow us access to the instances before we deploy our credentials using Ansible
[aws:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=centos
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa
host_key_checking=False
