I'm working on an Ansible project. I'm a noob at Ansible and I am asked to enable inventory cache plugin, apparently, it's disabled.

How do I do that?

Hey @Prakash, Inventory cache plugin is disabled by default, you explicitly have to enable it. 

You can enable it using the environment variable

export ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_CACHE=True

Adding to @Farookh's answer, if the inventory plugin accepts a YAML configuration source, you can also enable the inventory cache in the configuration file, something like this:

# dev.aws_ec2.yaml
plugin: aws_ec2
cache: True
