Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

Enhancements:

  • Replace deprecated ansible_architecture variable references with ansible_facts['architecture'] in Red Hat 8/9/10 repo definitions.

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:

  • Given the move to ansible_facts['architecture'] here, it would be good to double-check other vars/roles for remaining bare fact usages (e.g., ansible_architecture) to keep the deprecation handling consistent across the codebase.
  • In vars/RedHat_10.yml the repo id still references rhel-9 (preexisting), which might be unintended for a RHEL 10-specific vars file and worth verifying while touching this area.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** Repo id for RedHat_10 still references rhel-9, which is likely incorrect.

In the RedHat_10 vars file, this repo id still uses the `rhel-9-for-...` prefix, which is probably a copy/paste error and may point RHEL 10 hosts at the wrong channel. Please update this to the correct RHEL 10 repo id (e.g. `rhel-10-for-...`).
