SSH Logins With A Key And A Code, And An Exempt Group For Automation

SSH logins that need a key AND a code from an authenticator app: secrets held by root, the code in place of a password, and the account Ansible logs in with exempt so a playbook still connects. The drop-in is checked with the whole sshd configuration first, because read too late it stopped sshd from starting. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

The same job on other clouds

This module has no cross-cloud peer set in the catalogue, so there is no portability comparison to draw.
