Hello, You should try, what the documentation recommends: "Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `"connection: network_cli"` and “`become: yes"` with `"become_pass"`” From the error, that is clear you have privilege escalation problem: " `ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: operation requires privilege escalation` " Other deprecated features are used like “provider” and “authorize”.
