I’ve got ansible setup in a centos 6 & 7 environment. The Centos 6 hosts all work fine. The centos 7 hosts work, but I cannot use “become” with centos 7. It works with Centos 6, and non-root commands work with centos 7.

I have gone through your playbook I don’t see any issue in that. If you feel issue with ssh keys try to run ping command using ansible command , If it fails then issue with ssh key. One more thing is pls set ‘mode’ (600) for authorized\_keys file on target host while doing lineinfile action.
