Hi, I am trying to deploy openstack using openstack-ansible project. I am using Liberty release (tag 12.0.0). The problem i have is that Ansible is not able to SSH into the containers: **TASK: [Wait for ssh to be available] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** failed: [infra01\_neutron\_server\_container-4d09aa86 → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.236.216:22 failed: [infra01\_utility\_container-4da899df → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.237.186:22 failed: [infra01\_neutron\_agents\_container-bd7aded5 → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.237.90:22 failed: [infra01\_memcached\_container-12186fcf → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.238.177:22 failed: [infra01\_rabbit\_mq\_container-7103e2f2 → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.238.178:22 failed: [infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.236.60:22 failed: [infra01\_nova\_conductor\_container-98abf1df → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.238.8:22 failed: [infra01\_horizon\_container-5756dc20 → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} msg: Timeout when waiting for search string OpenSSH in 172.29.236.47:22 failed: [infra01\_nova\_cert\_container-17a8689a → 127.0.0.1] =\> {“elapsed”: 301, “failed”: true} … … … I can ping the containers: **root@infra01:~# ping infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b** PING infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b (172.29.236.60) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b (172.29.236.60): icmp\_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.103 ms 64 bytes from infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b (172.29.236.60): icmp\_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.086 ms 64 bytes from infra01\_galera\_container-b691e13b (172.29.236.60): icmp\_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.110 ms Please help. thank you, Hamza ---
