Procedure of ansible installation of bastion host is incorrect

[torwen1]

Hello Team,

I found a problem with the procedure of how the TF scripts are installing ansible.
In the bastion.tf you are using the following procedure to install ansible:
provisioner "remote-exec" {
inline = [
"pip3 install ansible -q"
]
}

The correct and supported package has to be installed with the following procedure on RHEL (RHEL 8 example below):
[root@host ~]# subscription-manager repos --list |grep -i ansible

Good point @torwen1. We should switch to ansible install via rpm.
