Please add this host's fingerprint to your known_hosts file to manage this host

Error: -
192.168.43.216 | FAILED! => {
    "msg": "Using a SSH password instead of a key is not possible because Host Key checking is enabled and sshpass does not support this.  Please add this host's fingerprint to your known_hosts file to manage this host."
}
 If you get above error message on Ansible controller that means your managed host are not added to known hosts. You can fix this issue in two way: -
1. Add "host_key_checking = false" in ansible.cfg(best practice)
[root@ansible ssh]# cat >> /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
host_key_checking = false

Let's check if issue has been fixed, If I am getting "ping": "pong" response that mean the issue has been fixed.
[root@ansible ssh]# ansible all -m ping
192.168.43.72 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
192.168.43.216 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

2. Initiate ssh connection and Accept ssh fingerprint: - As we know by default Ansible need ssh connection between controller node and managed node and when first time someone try to ssh any host, we have accept connection fingerprint just for very first time only.
[root@ansible ~]# ssh 192.168.43.216
The authenticity of host '192.168.43.216 (192.168.43.216)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:Os7z03gBEm2OZz1Cjy/yQ5j+Eyrj4FMlnQxlvDoe7Lk.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
root@192.168.43.216's password: ***********
[root@managed-node2 ~]#

That's how you can fix this issue.

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

" Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted " - systemctl command is not working in Docker container. If systemctl command is not working in your container and giving subjected error message then simple solution of this error is, create container with -- privileged option and also provide init file full path  /usr/sbin/init [root@server109 ~]# docker container run -dit --privileged --name systemctl_not_working_centos1 centos:7 /usr/sbin/init For detailed explanation and understanding I am writing more about it, please have look below. If we have a daemon based program(httpd, sshd, jenkins, docker etc.) running inside a container and we would like to start/stop or check status of daemon inside docker then it becomes difficult for us to perform such operations , because by default systemctl and service  commands don't work inside docker. Normally we run below commands to check services status in Linux systems. [root@server109 ~]# systemctl status ...

AWS cloud automation using Terraform

In this post I'll create multiple resources in AWS cloud using Terraform . Terraform is an infrastructure as code( IAC ) software which can do lots of things but it is superb in cloud automation. To use Terraform we have write code in a high-level configuration language known as Hashicorp Configuration Language , optionally we can write code in JSON as well. I'll create below service using Terraform- 1. Create the key-pair and security group which allow inbound traffic on port 80 and 22 2. Launch EC2 instance. 3. To create EC2 instance use same key and security group which created in step 1 4. Launch Volume(EBS) and mount this volume into /var/www/html directory 5. Upload index.php file and an image on GitHub repository 6. Clone GitHub repository into /var/www/html 7. Create S3 bucket, copy images from GitHub repo into it and set permission to public readable 8 Create a CloudFront use S3 bucket(which contains images) and use the CloudFront URL to update code in /var/w...
