How to run an ansible-playbook with a passphrase-protected-ssh-private-key?

I solved it by running ssh-add once and use it like if it's not password protected.

In ansible There is no option to store passphrase-protected private key

For that we need to add the passphrase-protected private key in the ssh-agent

Start the ssh-agent in the background.

# eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

Add SSH private key to the ssh-agent

# ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Now try running ansible-playbook and ssh to the hosts.
