Thank you, Kai. Will check it out. So if we can write a script that generates inventory in json format, we can directly pass the script to the ansible-playbook command? Did I understand that correctly?

[ansible-project] Updating Ansible hosts inventory dynamically
We have our hosts inventory organized by environments. We tend to have alpha versions of software deployed in our test environment. Are there any thoughts on keeping the inventory dynamically updated if we decide to move a host between environment - say from test to dev or from dev to production etc. Are there any best practices and such around it?
