Ansible Login To Fresh Created Cloud Instance

Question

I have created a playbook to create a fresh instance out of a cloud image.

Now can somebody please help me to figure-out how can I login to the instance with the key-pair that was used to create the instance. I don't want to use any user other then root to login.

Thanks.

In your hosts file:
