SSH Keys & Passwordless Login

Set up key-based auth so Ansible can connect.

Ansible Speaks SSH

Ansible connects to managed nodes over plain SSH. If you can SSH into a server, Ansible can almost certainly manage it.

Why Passwordless Matters

Typing a password for every host does not scale. SSH keys let Ansible log in to hundreds of servers with zero prompts.
