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: --- - name: Ping Localhost and 127.0.0.1 hosts: localhost gather_facts: false tasks: - name: Show the location of the ping command using 'command -v' ansible.builtin.command: cmd: command -v ping register: command_v_ping_result - name: Display the location of the ping command using 'command -v' ansible.builtin.debug: var: command_v_ping_result.stdout - name: Show the location of the ping command using 'type' ansible.builtin.shell: cmd: type ping register: type_ping_result - name: Display the location of the ping command using 'type' ansible.builtin.debug: var: type_ping_result.stdout - name: Wait for 30 minutes ansible.builtin.pause: minutes: 30 prompt: "Pausing for 30 minutes.
