Hi
I got it. The reason is as follow. Actually, this is not a ping just like we are used to use in network. This is a small scritp that actually access the remote host and run a validation and get a responde. That´s why you need to use the Key gen before.
Features of the Ansible ping Module
The ping module is quite simple, and the following is a list of the features provided by this module:
Not an ICMP ping; rather, it is a small module that requires a valid Python environment on remote hosts.
Windows remote hosts should use the win_ping module instead.
Provides a net_ping module for network devices.
Accepts only a single parameter to raise an exception.
Used by default when calling the ansible command in the /usr/bin/ansible directory to verify login permissions and a valid Python environment.
Returns the string ‘pong’ on success.
