This might give you a clue - stdout output: Please login as the user \"cloud-user\" rather than the user \"root\".\n\n"

But My playbook is available with root user.

I am able to log in with cloud-user and then with sudo privileges as root, I have implemented a play book. So that I can execute playbook with root privileges.

You need to login as the cloud-user and use privilege escalation (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html) to execute the tasks as root user.

ansible_user: cloud-user
become: yes
become_method: sudo
