How to Install SSH Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Linux Shout
There was a time when computers on the net were accessible via the Telnet protocol. Since this protocol did not offer encryption, recording passwords became a trivial matter.
To secure remote access, Tatu Ylönen wrote a suite of programs in the mid-1990s – consisting of server, client, and utilities – which he called ssh (secure shell).
Later he founded the company ssh.com and offered version 2 of the SSH suite only commercially. As a result, developers of the OpenBSD operating system forked the public source code of version 1. They further developed the program under the name “OpenSSH”. This OpenSSH suite became an integral part of virtually all Linux distributions.

How to install Ansible on Ubuntu Server 22.04 | TechRepublic
Ansible makes it much easier for busy admins to manage a large collection of servers. Instead of having to remote into each server to handle a task, you can take care of much of it from a single point of entry. One reason why I prefer Ansible over similar tools is that Ansible doesn’t require you to install clients on remote nodes. Instead, Ansible uses SSH to execute all tasks, and YAML files hold the definitions of the tasks to be run.
