I have SSH access for a particular server, but when I am trying to run the playbook for that server. I am trying to do the deployment for that server but I'm facing an issue.

fatal: [lapp999.corp.com]]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Data could not be sent to remote host \"lapp999.corp.com\". Make sure this host can be reached over ssh: ********************************************************************************\n

Can someone please assist to fix this one?

The issue is `Permission denied (publickey)`.

Then check the verbose output of the connection attempt along with the logs on the server

ansible-playbook -vvv Verbosity 3 starts printing commands run, including the ssh command line. Compare this to the ssh command you claim is working interactively.

Check if IdentityFile should be set for this host in ssh_config and if so to which credential.

Ansible's default is to not use interactive ssh options. If you were to need a password, would need to provide that via --ask-pass on the command line, or set variable ansible_password And have the sshpass program installed, because OpenSSH really doesn't want you to automate passwords.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
