The "ssh-agent" and "ssh-add" are usually run on a system as a specific
user to add an SSH key to a temporary 'keychain' so any subsequent SSH
commands can automatically (and without prompting) use a specific ssh key
to connect to a second system.
When you run them in the Ansible "shell" module, it's running those on the
remote system and once that module completes, the ssh keychain process
("ssh-agent") is closed and it goes away.
As Johnathan asked, what are you trying to get setup by running these
steps? It looks like you're trying to get it setup so you can SSH into the
"ubuntu-target" system as root using the "id_rsa" key on "ubuntu" . (But
since your ansible-playbook command doesn't prompt for credentials, it
appears you already have the shared ssh key setup, so I'm confused what
larger problem you're trying to solve...)
