The default ssh connection plugin will cause a task to fail if a
connection cannot be made first time. The failures have been found to
cause a number of builds to fail.
This patch adds a new connection plugin called ssh_retry and sets it as
the default one to use.
The plugin can be enabled by setting the following options in
ansible.cfg:
[defaults]
connection_plugins = plugins/connection_plugins
transport = ssh_retry
[ssh_retry]
retries = 3
Note, the default retries is 3.
