It means that your boto3 is not available to ansible.

Wrong location? Different venv?

What does ‘ansible --version’ say?

In user ldap should be use “root”

Use command line

sudo apt-get install pip3

sudo pip3 install boto3

It is possible that Ansible uses Python 2 on the target.

To enforce Python 3 on the target, you can set the following variable:

ansible\_python\_interpreter: '/usr/bin/python3'
