Verify that Ansible version -> running deploy-3scale-api pipeline

[sgutierr]

I've found an issue executing the CICD ansible playbook using the deploy-3scale-api, the environment is new OCP 3.11 instance, 3scale 2.4 on-prem and Jenkins. It's curiosely another enviroment that I had working, now doesn't work for the same reasons.
This the log, aparently something regarding ansible version isn't working properly.

TASK [nmasse-itix.threescale-cicd : Verify that Ansible version is >= 2.4.6] ***

Did you choose the template based on RHEL or CentOS ?

Centos for ansible-slave

[nmasse-itix]

ok, thanks. I will update the instructions to use pre-built images instead. It will be easier and less error-prone.

You are not the only one that reported this error. It happens because yum installed Ansible 2.4 instead of 2.6...

I try to come up with something in the next days.

A workaround can be adding the epel repository in the CentOS template
" RUN yum -y install epel-release && \
yum install -y ansible && \ ... "

Nice ! 👍I added your fix to the Dockerfile and I'm using it to provide pre-built images.
Once the built is complete, I will test it and issue a new release.
