I have a Yubikey 4 configured with a SSH key bundled inside and it works perfectly if I'm just doing simple ssh into servers with this key configured.
But when I try to run ansible with this configuration, it gives me this error:

I'm assuming it requires a $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa file present in the filesystem, is there a way to workaround this?
The problem was with Ansible's configuration:
ssh_args = -o IdentitiesOnly=yes
After I removed the
-o IdentitiesOnly=yes option. It worked.

The title really says it all. I have a small playbook that works just great from the command line. But from cron, I get a "Permission denied" error.
The target machine is set up as passwordless (i.e. I did a ssh-copy-id to it). My key does have a passphrase. I am running the ssh-agent.
Here is the script called by cron:
#!/bin/bash
cd "${HOME}/raspberry-pi-iot-monitor/ansible"
ansible-playbook gather-telemetry.yaml -vvvv
Here is the cron entry:
╰─➤ crontab -l
*/2 * * * * ~/raspberry-pi-iot-monitor/shell/gather.sh > /tmp/gather.log 2>&1
And here is the error:

I have a task to install Docker on a private ip. There are two azure virtual machines, one with a public IP, the other with a private one. How to start a playbook from the first machine to the second?
The first virtual machine -https://i.stack.imgur.com/VLPyD.png
And the second one is - https://i.stack.imgur.com/zE5Lq.png

I am following the Google Cloud Shell REST API documentation here which shows using the users.environments.publicKeys.create method to add a SSH public key to my Cloud Shell.
I have used ssh-keygen to generate a public/private key pair and have successfully added the public key to my Cloud Shell using this API. After doing so I can confirm that the public key is accessible by using the users.environments.get method to get the details for my shell which shows this public key.
Whenever I try to SSH to my Cloud Shell using the corresponding private key I get the error Permission denied (publickey).
I have tried using the same public/private key pair to connect to other servers and it works fine, so this would rule out the keys being an issue.
I have tried connecting from multiple Windows and Linux clients to rule out any issues with local file permissions, but no luck.
I have tried multiple keys but get the same result.
Here is the output of me trying to connect via SSH from a Ubuntu machine:

I have verified that the private key is not corrupted
I have verified that the user name I am connecting with matches that which cloud shell is expecting
I have verified that the authorized_keys file on the Cloud Shell system has permissions "rw-r-r" (result is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2584 Aug 26 12:08 /etc/ssh/keys/authorized_keys)
[UPDATE]
Run these commands which use the alpha SDK to generate/install an SSH key:
gcloud components install alpha
gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh --dry-run
Then you can use the SSH key file ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine.
If this works, then your SSH key is the problem.
[END UPDATE]
In your debug output, line 87 and 88:
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug3: receive packet: type 51
Line 87 means "user auth request".
Line 88 means "user auth failure".
The SSH server has rejected your SSH key.
Run this command in Cloud Shell to see the log for SSHD. You should see the exact error why your SSH key was rejected:
sudo grep -i ssh /var/log/auth.log
Possible problems/solutions:
Corrupted Private Key on your local system.
Private Key does not match the remote system Public Key in authorized_keys.
The user name "user" does not match the remote system.
Incorrect file permissions on remote system authorized_keys ( should be 0644 - "rw-r-r")
OpenSSH server cannot read authorized_keys (missing read file permission).
Note: Make sure that your private key (.ssh/id_rsa) is only readable by you (no write permissions for anyone, no read permissions for anyone else but you) - 0400.
I have a VPS running Debian 7 which I use to access through ssh for as long as 4 years.
Now, suddenly, when I try to connect to it, no prompt for password is shown, although the connection to remote sshd is open. And after a few seconds, I get the message "Authentication failed", so that I just can't login to and get a shell prompt.
Does anybody have seen this problem before? Does anybody have any hint on how I may circumvent this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Angico
Edit: I am including the full output of ssh -vvv in order to make it clearer for you to see any detail that may be escaping my attention and/or is out of my poor knowledge:

And here, after some time...
Authentication failed.
Your ssh client is trying to use an already defined connection. Do you have any ssh connection configured in .ssh/config? Does it match the connection you want to use?
Also, do you have defined any public or private key in the folder .ssh? if you have some keys there, the ssh clien will try to attempt to use it for connecting and after some tries, will fail. If it is the case, as described here you can use:
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no example.com
to skip the use of any existing key.
I am able to login to my virtual server as root as well as username naveed through password-less SSH. I have to run Hadoop on it, for that purpose I have created private and public keys in my remote ssh directory and also added public key to authorized_keys file.
But when I do ssh comquest it asks for password. Comquest is hostname of my remote server.
Below are my permissions info:
naveed#comquest:~$ stat -c "%a %n" ~/.ssh
755 /home/naveed/.ssh
naveed#comquest:~$ stat -c "%a %n" ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
644 /home/naveed/.ssh/authorized_keys
Below is the error I got with naveed#comquest:$ ssh -vvv comquest
naveed#comquest:/usr/local/hadoop$ ssh -vvv comquest

authorized_keys known_hosts local local.pub
local and local.pub are keys generated by naveed#comquest to access comquest. local.pub is added to authorized_keys.
Your private key is in a file named local, but that's not a name that ssh looks for (by default). Your ssh -vvv output shows that it's only looking for the default key filenames, such as id_rsa and id_dsa.
Either rename your local and local.pub files to match the expected naming convention (e.g. id_rsa or whatever, depending on what type of key it is), or add -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/local to your ssh command line.
