Dynamic Inventory Diagram

This diagram illustrates the collaborative roles of the infra team and DevOps team in a vRA-based environment:

• The infra team sets up vRA for VM requests via the vRA Portal and assigns labels to images (e.g., ubuntu, ubuntu24, rhel, rhel9, win, win2022).
• The DevOps team selects predefined environment labels (e.g., development, test, acceptance, production) and application role labels (e.g., hello-world) through the portal.
• The DevOps team uses a dynamic inventory plugin to fetch labeled nodes from the vRA API, generating host information and Ansible groups.
• Additional static groups (e.g., linux) are defined in a hosts.ini file for broader targeting, remaining static after initial setup. This file is part of the Ansible inventory project.
