[ansible-project] Re: Unable to reach to EC2 instance using dynamic inventory with a single region

Hi Nirav, This is a tough nut to crack. Which version of Ansible are you using? Which region is it specifically that is failing? Or is it just any region that is specified over 'any' region? Alex On Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 3:43:38 AM UTC-7, Nirav Radia wrote: > > Hi Alex, > >

The short answer is you don't. Traditional network devices that dump an authenticated session to the "CLI" effectively prevent you from being able to use OpenSSH as a programmable transport in the way that is implemented for other systems. WRT point #2. SSH connections being made by network
