Thanks. Is there a way to use an existing inventory file?
I asked because the server where the engineVM is running is listed into my existing a ansible inventory file on my local machine, but how do I specify/run the subsequent tasks which I want to run on vms running on engineVM as I don't see the /etc/hosts file updated where engineVM runs. How would my local ansible playbook know which vms are available, etc?
