Using embedded ansible to create service

[RADHIKA500]

Hi,
I am trying to create a service of "ansible playbook" type, here are the steps followed:

• enabled embedded ansible role
• added the git repository with ansible playbooks
• created catalog item of "ansible playbook" type
• example catalog items: Create vCenter VM, Get vCenter cluster VM, Create AWS EC2 access key.

My service catalog executions are failing with errors related to dependent python modules (pyvmomi for VMWare, boto and botocore for AWS). Attached screenshots
Since it is embedded ansible, can we assume that all dependent packages must already be enabled?
Please help with resolution.

Yes, but it's possible the version isn't what you need. In those cases you should be able to have a requirements.yml for your playbook which will allow it to install the version you need.

Thanks!
I am running a containerized Infrastructure Management (IM / ManageIQ)
I have tried installing pyvmomi directly on localhost using ansible playbook, but installation requires escalated privilege and ManageIQ throws an error saying no permission to install.
Any help?

What is the correct location within the github repository to place requirements.yml file?
On a local development environment of ansible, it is required to run "ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml" to install the role on the node and then we use the role within the playbook with "import_role/include_role" statements.

How do we do this in ManageIQ (IM) environment?

Could you also please help me with this?
