Hi,

well, the issue is exactly what is displayed.
Wherever your AWX is running - it doesn’t have the aws cli installed.
I assume your playbook successfully runs on localhost or some other host where aws cli is installed.
If your AWX is running in a container it won’t have the aws cli.

One way to do this would be to have a host somewhere with aws cli installed that your playbook uses to execute the command.

HI,

So, can i install the aws cli on awx container, if yes, which container should i use to install the aws cli.

awx_task or awx_web.

awx_task
wouldn’t recommend doing it the way you laid it out.

Hi,

you can just create a simple inventory.

[aws]
hostname ansible_host=1.2.1.2

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html

If you have this in the repository that you sync with AWX you can simply add the inventory file as a inventory source. (create inventory > add inventory source)

Then you run your play on the ‘aws’ host group.

hope this helps.
