@Racke,
These are my ansible.cfg settings. The playbook is called with 'become:
true' since most tasks require elevated rights:
[defaults]
forks = 60
poll_interval = 15
become_user = root
remote_port = 22
host_key_checking = False
become_exe = sudo
timeout = 60
callback_whitelist = timer, profile_tasks
display_skipped_hosts = no
force_color = True
stdout_callback = yaml
bin_ansible_callbacks = True
gather_subset=!all,min,facter,!hardware,!network,!virtual,!ohai
[paramiko_connection]
record_host_keys = False
host_key_checking = False
[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ControlMaster=no -o ControlPersist=60s -o
ControlPath=/tmp/ssh-%h -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
scp_if_ssh = True
retries = 2
pipelining = True
