docker_containers inventory plugin
The :ref:`community.docker.docker_containers inventory plugin <ansible_collections.community.docker.docker_containers_inventory>` allows you to dynamically add Docker containers from a Docker Daemon to your Ansible inventory. See :ref:`dynamic_inventory` for details on dynamic inventories.
The `docker inventory script <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/scripts/inventory/docker.py>`_ is deprecated. Please use the inventory plugin instead. The inventory plugin has several compatibility options. If you need to collect Docker containers from multiple Docker daemons, you need to add every Docker daemon as an individual inventory source.

The :ref:`community.docker.docker_host_info module <ansible_collections.community.docker.docker_host_info_module>` allows you to retrieve information on a Docker daemon, such as all containers, images, volumes, networks and so on.
You can use the Infoblox dynamic inventory script to import your network node inventory with Infoblox NIOS. To gather the inventory from Infoblox, you need two files:
- `infoblox.yaml <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-collections/community.general/main/scripts/inventory/infoblox.yaml>`_ - A file that specifies the NIOS provider arguments and optional filters.
- `infoblox.yaml <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-community/contrib-scripts/main/inventory/infoblox.yaml>`_ - A file that specifies the NIOS provider arguments and optional filters.
- `infoblox.py <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-collections/community.general/main/scripts/inventory/infoblox.py>`_ - The python script that retrieves the NIOS inventory.

The dynamic inventory script queries the Packet API for a list of hosts, and exposes it to Ansible so you can easily identify and act on Packet devices.
You can find it in Ansible Community General Collection's git repo at `scripts/inventory/packet_net.py <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-collections/community.general/main/scripts/inventory/packet_net.py>`_.

While primarily used to kickoff OS installations and manage DHCP and DNS, Cobbler has a generic
layer that can represent data for multiple configuration management systems (even at the same time) and serve as a 'lightweight CMDB'.
To tie your Ansible inventory to Cobbler, copy `this script <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-collections/community.general/main/scripts/inventory/cobbler.py>`_ to ``/etc/ansible`` and ``chmod +x`` the file. Run ``cobblerd`` any time you use Ansible and use the ``-i`` command line option (for example, ``-i /etc/ansible/cobbler.py``) to communicate with Cobbler using Cobbler's XMLRPC API.
