Issue Description:
I encountered an error when running the playbook that caused the task "Gathering Facts" to fail. The error message I received was:

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
fatal: [default]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: pubkeyacceptedalgorithms", "unreachable": true}

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Execute the playbook amazon-ebs.jenkins with the provided configuration.
  2. The playbook fails at the task "Gathering Facts" with the above error message.

Resolution Attempted:
After analyzing the error message, I noticed that the error was caused by the pubkeyacceptedalgorithms configuration option. To resolve the issue, I removed this option from the configuration.

Additionally, I encountered another error during the playbook execution. The error message is as follows:

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"msg": "failed to transfer file to /home/arun/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-906_x273od6/tmpedzyw_iq ~arun/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1689085163.023391-911-48271443937713/AnsiballZ_setup.py:\n\nunknown option -- O\r\nusage: scp [-346BCpqrTv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]\n [-J destination] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port]\n [-S program] source ... target\n"}

Resolution Attempted:
To overcome this error, I removed the --scp-extra-args option from the playbook.
