I'm trying to execute a playbook for starting an ec2 instance. Have boto3 and python installed on both controlling machine and client node. But it still gives me the error saying:
"msg": "boto required for this module"

Have tried everything suggested here: Ansible ec2: "boto required for this module". But nada.

ansible boto3

  I guess this task most probably runs on localhost. If for whatever reason you run it on a remote host, did you install the requirements there ?

You are missing the python boto package on the host that is executing the Ansible playbooks.

You can install it via the python package manager

$ pip install boto --user

If you are using linux you can also install it via the package manager:

# RHEL/CentOS
$ sudo yum -y install python-pip

# Fedora
$ sudo dnf -y install python-pip

Package dependencies are listed on the Ansible website for each module. For example for the ec2 module the Ansible host dependencies are:

python >= 2.6

boto

It is worth noting that that boto, botocore, and boto3 are all separate packages.
