Allow root ssh login into cloud boxes

Most of the default distro images disallow root ssh connections, as a potential security measure. This Ansible role reverts back the changes in cloud-init configuration, same as the changes in root's authorized_keys file.

Btw, if you hate the error messages:

Please login as the user "centos" rather than the user "root".
Please login as the user "fedora" rather than the user "root"
Please login as the user "cloud-user" rather than the user "root".

Then you'll probably love this role.

Howto

Basic wrapper playbook (default remote_user == 'root'):

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: False
  roles:
  - role: ansible-fix-ssh-root

Have a look at ./example directory.
