Red Hat introduces a new LibSSH connection plug-in for Ansible that replaces the existing Paramiko SSH subsystem. The new plug-in enables FIPS 140 readiness for federal security compliance while offering better performance. Network automation users can switch to LibSSH by installing the ansible-pylibssh Python library and configuring the ssh_type parameter to 'libssh' in ansible.cfg, environment variables, or playbooks. The feature is currently in Technology Preview and primarily targets network device connections.
