an example inventory located
[here](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/inventory/sample/inventory.ini).
You can use an
[inventory generator](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/contrib/inventory_builder/inventory.py)
to create or modify an Ansible inventory. Currently, it is limited in
functionality and is only used for configuring a basic Kubespray cluster inventory, but it does
support creating inventory file for large clusters as well. It now supports
separated ETCD and Kubernetes control plane roles from node role if the size exceeds a
certain threshold. Run `python3 contrib/inventory_builder/inventory.py help` for more information.
## Building your own inventory
Ansible inventory can be stored in 3 formats: YAML, JSON, or INI-like. See the
[example inventory](/inventory/sample/inventory.ini)
and [Ansible documentation on building your inventory](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/inventory_guide/intro_inventory.html),
and [details on the inventory structure expected by Kubespray](/docs/ansible/inventory.md).
Example inventory generator usage:
```ShellSession
cp -r inventory/sample inventory/mycluster
declare -a IPS=(10.10.1.3 10.10.1.4 10.10.1.5)
CONFIG_FILE=inventory/mycluster/hosts.yml python3 contrib/inventory_builder/inventory.py ${IPS[@]}
<your-favorite-editor> inventory/mycluster/inventory.ini
# Review and change parameters under ``inventory/mycluster/group_vars``
<your-favorite-editor> inventory/mycluster/group_vars/all.yml # for every node, including etcd
<your-favorite-editor> inventory/mycluster/group_vars/k8s_cluster.yml # for every node in the cluster (not etcd when it's separate)
<your-favorite-editor> inventory/mycluster/group_vars/kube_control_plane.yml # for the control plane
<your-favorite-editor> inventory/myclsuter/group_vars/kube_node.yml # for worker nodes
```
Then use `inventory/mycluster/hosts.yml` as inventory file.
## Starting custom deployment
Once you have an inventory, you may want to customize deployment data vars
and start the deployment:
**IMPORTANT**: Edit my\_inventory/groups\_vars/\*.yaml to override data vars:
```ShellSession
