Creating an Ansible connection​

Ansible does not use a dedicated connection. Instead, an SSH connection is used.

Using SSH Key​

​
Creating your connection​

  1. In the Blink platform, navigate to the Connections page > Add connection. A New Connection dialog box opens displaying icons of external service providers available.

  2. Select the SSH icon. A dialog box with name of the connection and connection methods appear.

    • The Username that will be associated with the key.
