Summary     : SSH-based application deployment, configuration management, and IT orchestration platform
Description :

Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management,
multi-node deployment, and orchestration engine. Ansible works
over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed
on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and
are transferred to managed machines automatically.

Ideas why it's failing?

[Mike Eggleston]

Removed Ansible 2.8.5 and installed Ansible 2.8.5.

Same error.

More simple playbook.

Changed "become: yes" to "become:true".

Same error:

---

- hosts: appsrv98

  tasks:
    - name: test (1/2)
      command: uptime

    - name: test (2/2)
      command: uptime
      become: true

What is the version of sudo installed on `appsrv98`?

I have a feeling that `appsrv98` is a really old machine, maybe running EL5 or something like that.  In which case, even if you can get past the sudo issue, you'll run into python version issues as well.

That's an interesting thought.

Ansible isn't required on the remote machine; python is though.

Here's on the remote machine:

DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1> rpm -qi ansible
package ansible is not installed
DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1> python -V
Python 2.7.16
DEV App Server 98
appsrv98:meggle1:/home/meggle1>

Sudo is too old.

This works:

---
- hosts: appsrv98

  tasks:
    - name: test (1/2)

      command: uptime

    - name: test (2/2)
      command: uptime
      become: true

      become_flags: -H -S

Matt, thanks for your help.
