I built a Docker image from CentOS 9 Stream via Ansible-Builder. When I spin up the Docker container I can ping VMs in my network. Also when I run a Playbook to manually create a K8s Pod from the Docker image ping works fine. However, when I use the EE for my Template, ping fails inside the Job. Even when I test pinging 127.0.0.1 or localhost it still fails.
I have used this exact same Docker image in a work lab and ping works fine, so I know the issue is related to my home K8s and/or AWX environment.
When I kubectl exec -it into the running EE pod, I see no output from ping:
root@ansible-ubuntu-1:~# kubectl exec -it automation-job-239-5dft4 -- /bin/bash
bash-5.1$ ping 127.0.0.1
bash-5.1$
bash-5.1$ ping 192.168.1.1
bash-5.1$
bash-5.1$ ping 192.168.3.1
Perhaps this is a Kubernetes issue? If so I would also expect the pings from inside the EE pod I spin up to fail, however.
Here is my Playbook:
---

Here is the job output:

the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
