The Python 2 yum module is needed for this module. If you require Python 3 support use the `dnf` Ansible module instead.

You need to install yum bindings for Python2 or dnf bindings for Python3 on the remote machine.

Use the ‘package’ module instead of ‘yum’. It will do the right thing on each OS. Also, pass all the packages in a single task.

- hosts: all  
become: true  
vars:  
ansible\_become\_pass:  
pkgs:

- vim

- ntp  
tasks:

- name: “install packages {{ pkgs }}”  
package:  
name: “{{ pkgs }}”  
state: present  
notify: “packages installed”

handlers:

- name: start and enable ntp  
service:  
name: ntp  
state: started  
enabled: true  
listen: “packages installed”

- name: update yum cache  
yum:  
update\_cache: yes  
listen: “packages installed”
