Thank you for your response. I tried that, but still getting the same error. Further explaining my initial comment, I am able to ping all servers. But when running a playbook against the servers, the playbook works except against dev\_fe, and the error is above. I have tried below but still the same error `dev_FE ansible_ssh_host=3.220.299.184 ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2.7` ---

All is working well with Ansible 2.8.3 and Python 2.7 at master       ansible 2.8.3       config    file= /export/home/vlado.config/.ansible/ansible-examples/examples/example-155/ansible.cfg       configured module search path =       [u'/home/vlado/.ansible/plugins/modules',       u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location       = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible executable location       = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.15+ (default, Nov 27 2018,       23:36:35) [GCC 7.3.0] both with Python 2.7       test\_01 | SUCCESS =\> {              "ansible\_facts": {                  [...]                  "ansible\_python\_version": "2.7.16", and Python 3.6 at the remote host.       test\_01 | SUCCESS =\> {              "ansible\_facts": {                  [...]                  "ansible\_python\_version": "3.6.7", 3) It's left to find out if the problem is Ansible 2.8 with Python3 in general, or if this is a distro problem.

Thank you for your assistance.I have checked and all servers are: ```auto NAME="Amazon Linux AMI" VERSION="2018.03" ``` ```auto ``` ```auto and python 2.7.16 .Just not sure how else I could check why that one server fails to run the playbook ```
