This is indeed the basis for most solutions. Yes ssh-agent to 'sign in'
locally and then ssh keys to allow connection to remote machine without
the need to log in each time.

There is a (are several) project(s) which look to automate the script
creation/monitoring/reporting across many remote machines. My brain is not
working well enough this morning to give you an example....

If you want an example you could look at:
