I don’t think the failure is related to using or not using “sudo”. The playbook
failed because Ansible could not connect to the remote machine.
The error message:
fatal: [myserver]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to
connect to the host via ssh:
============================================================\n|Permission
denied (publickey,password,keyboard-
interactive).", "unreachable": true}
tells you that Ansible cannot connect to ‘myserver’ over SSH. If you try to
connect to the target machine using SSH and the user ‘ansible’ from the command
line, does that work? Do you have to type in a password? If you’re using SSH
keys, does the ‘ansible’ user have permission to access the correct key?
See
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/connection_details.html#ssh-key-setup
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/connection_details.html#ssh-key-setup>
for information on setting up SSH keys.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
