>From our jump box, we sudo su - to root and then ssh into the other hosts 
as root.  (I understand the security risks, but I don't have control over 
this setup)

I'm wondering if I can setup ansible to that it connects to the jump box as 
my user, then does a sudo su -, so that when it sshes over to the targets, 
its actually connecting to them as root.


I know it's possible to use proxycommand to make use of a jump box, but the 
sudo su -, I haven't figured out.

The only variable I can control here is the box I'm originating from. 
Details that I don't have control over:

   - I can't install ansible on the jump box.
   - My user isn't on the target hosts, only root.
   - Root password is not known, we use private keys, which are only on the 
   jump box.
   - I cannot copy those keys to my box.
   - I can't ssh to the jump box as root.
