Managing Enterprise Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

You can import existing static inventory files managed in a Git repository into automation controller.

To use an inventory stored and managed in a Git repository, configure the repository as a project and set up the inventory source as Sourced from Project.

Automation controller ships with built-in dynamic inventory support for external inventory sources such as Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure Resource Manager, and Red Hat Satellite 6, among others.

Automation controller provides smart inventories, which allow you to build an inventory by selecting hosts based on Ansible facts or other criteria from all the other inventories on automation controller.

Smart inventories use the fact cache on automation controller to apply Ansible fact-based filters.
