| ansible_ssh_extra_args | This setting is always appended to the default ssh command line. | ||||
| ansible_ssh_pipelining | Determines whether or not to use SSH pipelining. | ||||
| ansible_ssh_executable | This setting overrides the default behavior to use the system ssh. | ||||
Privilege escalation |
|||||
| ansible_become | Equivalent to ansible_sudo or ansible_su, allows to force privilege escalation | ||||
| ansible_become_method | Allows to set privilege escalation method | ||||
| ansible_become_user | Equivalent to ansible_sudo_user or ansible_su_user, allows to set the user you become through privilege escalation | ||||
| ansible_become_pass | Equivalent to ansible_sudo_pass or ansible_su_pass, allows you to set the privilege escalation password (never store this variable in plain text; always use a vault. | ||||
| ansible_become_exe | Equivalent to ansible_sudo_exe or ansible_su_exe, allows you to set the executable for the escalation method selected | ||||
| ansible_become_flags | Equivalent to ansible_sudo_flags or ansible_su_flags, allows you to set the flags passed to the selected escalation method. | ||||
Remote host environment parameters: |
|||||
| ansible_shell_type | The shell type of the target system. You should not use this setting unless you have set the ansible_shell_executable to a non-Bourne (sh) compatible shell. | ||||
| ansible_python_interpreter | The target host python path. This is useful for systems with more than one Python or not located at /usr/bin/python such as *BSD, or where /usr/bin/python is not a 2.X series Python. | ||||
| ansible_*_interpreter | Works for anything such as ruby or perl and works just like ansible_python_interpreter. This replaces shebang of modules which will run on that host. | ||||
| ansible_shell_executable | This sets the shell the ansible controller will use on the target machine, overrides executablein ansible.cfg which defaults to /bin/sh. | ||||
