It doesn't look like AlmaLinux issue. The OS family detection is implemented internally in Ansible, please see this peace of code: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/module_utils/facts/system/distribution.py#L483. So, the result will depend on an Ansible version that you are using. Ansible developers added support for AlmaLinux already (see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls?q=is%3Apr+almalinux+is%3Aclosed) so basically what you need is to update your ansible to the latest stable version. I've tested it with both latest Fedora 34 and EPEL Ansible packages and Ansible correctly returns "RedHat" in both cases. What distribution and Ansible version are you using? |

you're right. It is an Ansible bug and we are using a version of ansible that is too old (2.9.18). After updating Ansible to 2.9.20 everything seems to be ok. You can close the bow. |
