I want to do this:
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kibana.repo

[kibana-4.4]
name=Kibana repository for 4.4.x packages
baseurl=http://packages.elastic.co/kibana/4.4/centos
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch

You are talking about yum but uses the apt module, that should be yum I presume.

You have all the modules here
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_all_modules.html

and if you search for yum you'll find

yum_repository - Add or remove YUM repositories
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/yum_repository_module.html

You can also find the documentation on the command line like this.

$ ansible-doc --list|grep yum
yum Manages packages with the `yum' package manager
yum_repository Add or remove YUM repositories

To get the documentation on the yum_repository module
$ ansible-doc yum_repository
