Hello, has anyone ever used AWS ec2-instance-connect with Ansible to connect to servers, using a ProxyCommand in ansible_ssh_common_args ? I cannot get Ansible to SSH to the server. When I run the straight aws command from the ansible server, connects fine.
Full details in pastebin links below, but some small context:
Playbook Task:
- name: Create tomcat group
become: true
ansible.builtin.group:
name: tomcat
gid: 2001
state: present
group_vars settings:
ansible_user: ansible
ansible_ssh_private_key_file: /opt/ansible/keys/ansible.pem
ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="aws ec2-instance-connect ssh --region us-east-1 --instance-id {{ instance_id }} --os-user {{ ansible_user }} --private-key-file {{ ansible_ssh_private_key_file }}"'
Errors:
-bash: line 1: $'SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.7\r': command not found
Connection timed out during banner exchange
Connection to UNKNOWN port 65535 timed out
Full Details:
Ansible Version / Playbook / group_vars settings: Ansible Version / Playbook / group_vars - Pastebin.com
Playbook error (-vvvv ): Create Tomcat Group Error - -vvvv Results - Pastebin.com
Successful connection using just the Proxy Command / aws call: AWS ec2-instance-connect - Pastebin.com
Any help is much appreciated.
