How to remove yum repository using Ansible playbook

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new in the Ansible playbook. I have configured yum in my remote systems. Now I want to remove yum from my remote systems. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the yum_repository module in Ansible-playbook. This allows us to configure or remove yum in the remote nodes. You need to set state value as absent.

- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - name: Remove repository (and clean up left-over metadata)
    yum_repository:
      name: epel
      file: docker_repo
      state: absent
