Ansible OpenNebula Inventory Module

In some circumstances you would like to generate your OpenNebula based inventory dynamically and keep the changes in a specific period. This module will do it for you. simply create a playbook or write an Adhoc task somewhere in your workstation or controller machine and execute it by schedule based job managers or crontab command. the file will be generated in the place you defined with the dest parameter. then you can use git or other mechanisms to keep the changes.
