Answer 1

Simple one. You should either add ansible_ssh_extra_args="-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" to inventory or disableHostKeyChecking: true into Jenkins pipeline script (inside ansiblePlaybook block).

Like this:

ansiblePlaybook(
  colorized: true,
  installation: 'ansible27'
  inventory: '[hostsfile]'
  playbook: '[playbook]'
  disableHostKeyChecking: true
)

Answer 2

Got the solution :

in the inventory file (/etc/ansible/hosts) :

[host]
192.XXX.XXX.XXX ansible_user=ubuntu1(target hostname) ansible_become_password=XXXXXXXX(target pwd)

and in the play we have to set

- hosts: host
  become: yes
  tasks:
    -name : Update XYZ app
     script: update.py

I have already written a python script for my process so I have giving same script here in .yml
