Simple private key setup?

I have an EC2 instance established. My public key is in authorized_keys and I can ssh in from the command-line.

I cannot however get Ansible to do anything.

`
[defaults]
hostfile = inventory
host_key_checking = False
private_key_file = /Users/strike/.ssh/id_rsa
remote_user = ubuntu

`

Getting this working should be dead simple, and yet it’s not.

When you say you can’t get it to do anything, please show something you are trying and the error you are getting.

Right now, all I have is a config file, so I don’t have any way to know what you ARE trying.

Thanks!
