I took it that Vincent was referring to my message of 2013-09-12 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/8p3XWlo83ho/Q1SflaZ9dyAJ>. In that post I mentioned using /dev/null for the ssh UserKnownHostsFile configuration key, scoped to Host *.amazonaws.com
This configuration triggers single-threaded behavior from ansible because ssh never stores any record of connecting to the EC2 hosts: not the first time, not ever. Because known_hosts is /dev/null. -- Mike On Monday, September 29, 2014 9:30:32 AM UTC-7, Michael DeHaan wrote: > > So I'm confused - are you saying you are using known_hosts that are empty? > > This seems to be a completely unrelated question. > > The mention of /dev/null above seemed to be based on confusion that we > didn't read it, not that it was actually symlinked to /dev/null. > > Can each of you clarify? > > On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 12:29 PM, Michael Blakeley <michael....@gmail.com > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Vincent, I now use a slightly different workaround.
