ansible ssh prompt known_hosts issue

Question

I\'m running Ansible playbook and it works fine on one machine.

On a new machine when I try for the first time, I get the following error.

17:04:34          


        

Answer 1

you can also set this from the server os level. you will need to configure the ssh config file in order to avoid ssh check to prompt:

edit the file path:

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

now uncomment the line:

StrictHostKeyChecking no

save the changes and that's it

Warning: The host (and also Ansible) will not perform anymore SSH host key verification to any ssh connections with the above settings. This can be risk and not recommended in production environments
