Access to obtained floating IP from provisioner phase.

[0x1b-xyz]

We're using the floating_ip_pool array to get the provider to snag an available IP for us. In our environment we don't have hostname/dns support configured so we use the IP grabbed by the provider to access the VM.

While it's easy to snag the IP from vagrant via vagrant ssh-config or one of the provider commands - it doesn't seem possible to get that IP from within my shell provisioner where I need it.

The ability to pass the IPs into the shell provisioner [:args] attribute would be awesome!

yes. This. Exactly This. Yes.

Hi,

Is there a similar method for other provisioners, e.g.: for ansible?

  # Provision with ansible
  config.vm.provision :ansible do |ansible|
     ansible.playbook = "ansible_playbook/site.yml"
     ansible.extra_vars = {
         floating_ip: <floating ip here >
     }
  end

edit:
Never mind! Just figured out that the allocated floating ip is accessible in the generated ansible inventory file under 'ansible_ssh_host' variable.

ansible_ssh_host does not work for ansible_local provisionning.
