SUMMARY
This change allows the use of the custom hostname set when creating an instance in GCE as the
inventory_hostname
in playbooks. Includes a fallback to the instance name in the case that a custom hostname is not defined.ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
gcp_compute.py
(dynamic inventory plugin)ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The
hostname
block already allowed the dynamic inventory plugin to use the instance name, but I am setting a custom hostname for my instances (viaterraform
) and wanted to be able to leverage that inansible
. I added a few lines of code that allowed this, with a fallback in case some instances do not have a custom hostname set.
