Reach hosts using FQDN and their hostname only without FQDN

Question

please help:

Is it possible to set up a static inventory so that hosts are accessible using their FQDN, as well as hostname without putting to Ad-hoc or playbook hosts full FQDN?

For example inventory file:

[production]
production1.local.domain

And commands:

ansible production1 -m ping
ansible production1.example.com -m ping

Answer 1

Yes. It's possible. Each entry must be declared. For example

production1 ansible_host=production1.local.domain
production1.local.domain

[production]
production1

[production_fqdn]
production1.local.domain
