I have an EC2 machine that I can SSH into from commandline. Now, I am trying to execute a playbook where this machine is the inventory. My inventory file looks like this:
default ansible_host=ec2-xx.xx.xx.xx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com ansible_user='ubuntu' ansible_ssh_private_key_file='~/.ssh/my_aws.pem'
When I try to execute a playbook, ansible fails with:
ERROR! SSH encountered an unknown error
Generating verbose logging shows that "Authentication succeeded (publickey)". I am at a loss as to why the connection fails. Verbose logs below:
{"changed": false, "msg": "ERROR! SSH encountered an unknown error. The output was:
