Instead of using expect, setting the ansible_ssh_pass is another solution. Instead of running ansible-playbook inside a script, i can directly use it and it may get the ssh password from group_vars variable. I couldn't make it, thats what i am trying to do now. On Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 8:13 AM,

There is a default time out value for expect. That's why its timing out. To disable the timeout, we are setting as -1. I don't think its ansible issue. On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 10:09 PM, Oğuz Yarımtepe wrote: > The lookup method sounds more Ansible way. timeout -1 solved

There's a few options. You can do a 'pre-seed' ssh key (added via Kickstart on in the VMware template; on AWS you'd add this as the instance is created). Ansible can use that to get in initially once the server is up and create more users/groups as desired. Another option would be a central key
