SSH connection to AWS from Gitlab CI

In this tutorial, I will show you how to establish an SSH connection from a Gitlab CI server to another server. It is not necessary for the other server to have the Gitlab CI runner installed.

The ssh command includes the StrictHostKeyChecking flag. If this flag is set to no, the ssh client will automatically add host keys to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and will accept to connect to hosts whose host key has changed. This is why we create the .ssh folder and set the right permission to it.
