You keep mixing up things here. By "end goal" I meant really a target situation, whereby something is changed/configured. Just "sudo to target machine" doesn't make sense. You SSH *to* a machine. And then you run a command, or a series of commands, etc. This is what ansible can automate for you. Since most commands require elevated privileges, some ways to do that are available when you're on the machine. For instance sudo. Which optionally requires a username to sudo to (default root). And optionally a password. But all of this is done to run some useful task/program. This is what you still have not told yet. The new thread you started has yet again a confusing and insecure playbook to find out what username you are using. So can you please share what you are trying to achieve? Since this appears to not be clear, here are some examples of what Ansible is usually used for: * Make sure a package is installed * Make sure a configuration file is available * Make sure a directory/file structure exists Thanks!
