Hello,

is it possible to use an Ansible playbook for implementing a custom inventory plugin?

Currently, I am using following approach with manual steps:

- create inventory file by running an ad-hoc command or playbook against a source-of-truth server
- The actual playbook then uses the manually created inventory
