Notes
-----

.. note::
   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when :ansopt:`kubevirt.core.kubevirt#inventory:validate\_certs=yes`\ , the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via :ansopt:`kubevirt.core.kubevirt#inventory:ca\_cert` or in the :ansopt:`kubevirt.core.kubevirt#inventory:kubeconfig` file.
