1109807 - [mdc1] migrate slaveapi to using Sevice Now/Infoblox instead of inventory

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Jake Watkins [:dividehex]]

Word on the street is IT will be moving IPAM and asset tracking to another an outsourced solution.  The k/v store within inventory may no longer be available at some point and there may not be a k/v with the new service.  This dependency should probably be removed.  Mozpool is also facing this problem.

The end is nigh!  With the plans for moving SCL3 -> {MDC1,MDC2}, IT inventory will be going away.  Asset management/IPAM will be carried out with Service Now/InfoBlox.

Currently, slaveapi queries inventory api via https for system records in order to determine PDU/port of a slave host.  We will need to replicate this api functionality within the SN API.

(according to callek, the create_record functions can be ignored as they were never implemented in the slave loaning process)

Inventory API url is set here:
