Yum module not found ansible

Question

I'm very new to Vagrant and Ansible, somehow I managed to setup Vagrant and have a box running but when i try to provision it with Ansible then I get error.ImportError: No module named yum

My playbook looks like below :-

---
- hosts: default
  connection: local
  sudo: true
  tasks:

  - name: install apache
    yum: name=httpd state=latest

I'm using Ubuntu as my host machine and have Vagrant 1.8.5 and latest version of Ansible on it.Can somebody please suggest where I'm mistaking. Thanks in advance.

Unrelated to your question, `sudo: true` is deprecated. Use `become: true` instead — MillerGeek, Aug 15 '16 at 13:26

With

connection: local

you are running the playbook on your host which is Ubuntu.

And that's why it doesn't find yum.

my host machine is running Ubuntu and my virtual machine (spawned by Vagrant ) is running centos/7 so I guess I need yum to install apache on centos and not apt – Akhil Aug 12 '16 at 08:59
