In Rudder there is a concept of a node inventory and a manual step, to Accept the node. In static topologies this works quite well, and the manual step to add the machines to the "Accepted" inventory is not a problem.
In environments where servers can be spun up and down rapildly though (for example : In auto-scaling environments) this causes an issue. As the server farm is changing very dynamically.
So, is there a way for new nodes, to be automatically added to the inventory, bypassing the need to "Accept New Nodes".
