Solution is to install openssh in your image or use a recent Python image

[mahmoud-lembo]

as per @CFCIfe comment,
updating docker image to
- image: python:3.9-alpine3.16
fixed it

[Ahmed-Moourad]

I have solved it using another docker image also you will need to change the ansible install command:
``
#Exercise: Config and Deployment
configure_infrastructure:
docker:
- image: circleci/python:3.8
steps:
- checkout
- add_ssh_keys:
# You can get this ID in the section where you registered the SSH Key
fingerprints:
- "yo:ur:fi:ng:er:pr:in:ts"
- run:
name: Install Ansible
command: |
pip install ansible
- run:
name: Run Playbook and Configure server
command: |
ansible-playbook -i inventory.txt main.yml

``

if you need lighter image an faster in your Circle CI use the image mentioned by Mahmoud :- image: python:3.9-alpine3.16
