feature request: host_key_checking offered as 'ansible_host_key_checking' option

Enabling host_key_checking as ‘ansible_host_key_checking’, like several other remote user config options (e.g., ansible_ssh_user) could simplify development workflows when MITM attacks are not of concern. For example, a configuration may be under local development until the same provisioning is attempted on a VPS.

Sorry, I don’t understand this one.

(A) host_key_checking can be configured on or off on ansible.cfg

(B) it’s enabled by default

What is the proposed change?

Add host_key_checking to the list of behavioral inventory parameters, allowing selective use of the setting.

I’d be open to this.

Something you’d like to work on?
