Getting "sudo: a password is required\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}

While running following command to run Ansible playbook getting error message "sudo: a password is required\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}

$ ansible-playbook <PlayBookFileName>.yml -i <PathToHostFileName>/hosts

Means in a playbook you define to login as one user, and becoming another user while executing command on remote host, which require password as follows. Most of the organization has adopted a policy to use Active Directory to login into Linux server, during these days.

remote_user: <ActiveDirectory ID>
become_user: root
You can use either -K, OR --ask-become-pass and ask for privilege escalation password. And your playbook will be executed successfully.

Add option -K as follows

$ ansible-playbook <PlayBookFileName>.yml -i <PathToHostFileName>/hosts -K
