3.16 SSH over Linux&Mac

The SSH over Linux&Mac module in Ansible is a powerful tool that allows for secure remote management of Linux and Mac systems. SSH, or Secure Shell, is a protocol that allows for encrypted communication between two systems over an insecure network. This module leverages SSH to securely connect to target systems and execute commands or scripts.

One of the key benefits of using the SSH over Linux&Mac module in Ansible is its ability to automate tasks across multiple systems. This can save time and reduce errors by allowing for consistent, repeatable processes. Additionally, the module can be used to manage systems in a centralized manner, providing a single point of control for system administrators.

The SSH over Linux&Mac module also includes features such as passwordless authentication, which can help to improve security by reducing the risk of password theft or compromise. This is achieved through the use of public key authentication, which allows for secure, automated logins without the need for passwords.

Overall, the SSH over Linux&Mac module in Ansible is a powerful tool for managing Linux and Mac systems securely and efficiently. By leveraging the power of SSH and automation, system administrators can streamline their workflows and improve the security of their systems.
