How to ignore ansible SSH authenticity checking

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new in Ansible. Whenever I try to run any playbook in my remote system it is failing because of SSH authentication. Can anyone tell me how can I avoid this?

Hi@akhtar,

To avoid this you need to set an environment variable host_key_checking to False in ansible.cfg file. To do that, make an ansible.cfg file inside /etc folder and include these below lines.

[defaults]
host_key_checking = False
