I guess it's the same issue we're also seeing in QE's RHEL jobs since Jul 02, we think it's caused by the ansible-core update, now it's coming to version 2.17 on the ansible image, but it won't work against the RHEL-8 workers which has python-3.6 installed on the system by default, please see https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/newer-versions-ansible-dont-work-rhel-8

I also drafted a PR for fixing this today #12504, but just realized @barbacbd is also updating this file here, so I closed that one, maybe Brent could help to add the version locking in this PR and backport it to previous OCP versions together, thanks.

We also made a test with the ansible-core 2.17 and newer python versions on RHEL workers, which also could work. But considering python3.6 is the default one on RHEL-8 machines, so I guess it's better to limit the ansible-core version < 2.17 in our test.

1. Install python3.9 on RHEL workers
2. Set ansible_python_interpreter=/bin/python3.9 in the inventory.

Least bad immediately available option for CI. Will have to rely on QE to some extent to continue testing rhel8 ansible environment.
