Connect with Ansible via an SSH Proxy

It is not uncommon to use Ansible for automating hosts in a protected network. In fact, if you have ever taken Red Hat training courses, then you are probably quite familiar with the bastion pattern.

The bastion is designed to minimize the attack surface for malicious actors by running only the services needed to provide a functional gateway.
