About the inventory file

KUMA components can be installed, updated, and removed from the directory with the unpacked kuma-ansible-installer using the Ansible tool and the inventory file you created. You can specify values ​​for KUMA configuration settings in the inventory file; the installer uses these values ​​when deploying, updating, and removing the program. The inventory file uses the YAML format.

You can create an inventory file based on the templates included in the distribution kit. The following templates are available:

• single.inventory.yml.template—Used to install KUMA on a single server. It contains the minimum set of settings optimized for installation on a single device without the use of a Kubernetes cluster.
• distributed.inventory.yml.template—Used for the initial distributed installation of KUMA without using a Kubernetes cluster, for expanding the all-in-one installation to a distributed installation, and for updating KUMA.
• expand.inventory.yml.template—Used in some reconfiguration scenarios: for adding collector and correlator servers, for expanding an existing storage cluster, and for adding a new storage cluster. If you use this inventory file to edit the configuration, the installer does not stop services in the entire infrastructure. If you reuse the inventory file, the installer can stop only services on hosts that are listed in the expand.inventory.yml inventory file.
• k0s.inventory.yml.template—Used to install or migrate KUMA to a Kubernetes cluster.

We recommend backing up the inventory file that you used to install the program. You can use it to add components to the system or remove KUMA.
