how to execute playbook task on Host-B directly from control machine

[Dip Giri]

First i have to connect Host-A then i can connect Host-B. i can’t connect Host-B directly. So in this case how to execute playbook task on Host-B from Control Machine. Because my control machine is centralised where have running Ansible AWX. and i can't install ansible on Host-A because there have restriction they wouldn't allow it.

So my question is how to execute playbook task on Host-B directly from control machine

Use Host-A as a jump host, e.g. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/using-ansible-playbook-ssh-bastion-jump-host
