Description

ISSUE TYPE
  • Since Custom Inventory Scripts are deprecated, it would be nice to be able to fetch a JSON inventory file from a remote URL
SUMMARY
  • Custom Inventory Scripts are deprecated. Adding an inventory file into SCM is an option, but it doesn't quite work in fast changing environments (in fact it works, but it's painful)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how custom inventory scripts are implemented in AWX and explore adding a new inventory source that fetches JSON from a URL. Look at existing inventory sources for patterns.
