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. You can kubectl exec -it into the pod during this time."

		- name: Ping localhost
		  ansible.builtin.ping:
		  delegate_to: localhost

		- name: Ping 127.0.0.1
		  ansible.builtin.command:
			cmd: ping -c 2 127.0.0.1
		  register: ping_result

		- name: Display ping result
		  ansible.builtin.debug:
			var: ping_result.stdout

Here is the job output:
