Recently I have updated my Ansible to the latest 2.10.9 version and when I try to execute a playbook, but failed with the below error. The Ansible playbook is to provision resources in the Azure cloud and Ansible is installed on Macbook.
Error message

The tutorial is how I fixed the above error in my MacBook. From the error message, I have noticed the line “The error was: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘msrest'” so I went ahead and installed the package “msrest”. “msrest” is an Azure dependency required for this Ansible version. To install this dependency execute the below command.

I triggered my ansible script again, thinking that the installation of the above package will resolve the issue.

This time also failed with another Azure/ python dependency which is “msrestazure”. So I understand that installing Azure dependency one by one will not help, I have installed all dependency in a single command.

I triggered the ansible-playbook command again and this time it worked.
