Cache Plugins
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This plugin implelents a backend caching mechanism for Ansible to store gathered facts or inventory source data
|
|
to avoid the cost of retrieving them from source.
|
|
|
|
The default plugin is the :doc:`memory <cache/memory>` plugin which will only cache the data for the current execution of Ansible.
|
|
Other plugins with persistent storage are available to allow caching the data across runs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling Cache Plugins
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Only one cache plugin can be active at a time.

|

You can enable in configuration, either via environment variable:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
export ANSIBLE_CACHE_PLUGIN=jsonfile
|
|
|
|
or in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[defaults]
|
|
fact_caching=redis
|
|
|
