Creating Kubernetes Dynamic Inventories with kubernetes.core Modules

When managing infrastructure, there are times when a dynamic inventory is essential. Recently, I decided to play with using a Kubernetes dynamic inventory to manage pods, but finding the details on how to use and apply it was a bit scarce. As such, I wanted to write a quick start guide on how you can create an Ansible Playbook to retrieve your pods within a namespace and generate a Kubernetes dynamic inventory. This is much easier to do when you take advantage of the kubernetes.core.k8s_info module. In my example, I’m going to take advantage of using my existing ansible-automation-platform namespace that has a list of pods to create my dynamic inventory.
