I'm new to Ansible, so any advice would be appreciated.
I'm using ansible 2.9.10.
First of all
On my control node, I've created a playbook, in which I set up the control host as a repository host: the RHEL 8 installation ISO must be loop mounted on the directory /var/ftp/repo, firewalld service disabled and the vsftpd service is started as well as enabled, and allows anonymous user access to /var/ftp/repo directory
---
- name: Setup control host as repository host
hosts: localhost
become: true
vars:
anonymous_enable: yes
tasks:
- name: Install vsftpd
yum:

- name: Start and enable vsftpd service
service:

state: started
enabled: true
- name: Disable firewall
firewalld:
service: firewall
state: disabled
- name: Allow anonymous user access to /var/ftp/repo
template:

- name: Setup repo directory
file:

state: directory
- name: create repo
mount:

src: /dev/sr0
fstype: iso9660
opts: loop,ro
state: mounted
Next
I have managed node and want to configure it as repository client to the repository server, that was configured above, in previous example. I want to use ad-hoc command to enable access to the BaseOS ans AppStream repositories on my control-node. Below this command and returned result:
[ansible@control ~]$ ansible ansible1 -u root --ask-pass -m yum_repository -a "name=AppStream file=AppStream baseurl=ftp://control.example.com/repo/AppStream/ description=AppStream gpgcheck=no enabled=yes state=present"
SSH password:

[ansible@control ~]$ ansible ansible1 -u root --ask-pass -m yum_repository -a "name=BaseOS file=BaseOS baseurl=ftp://control.example.com/repo/ description=BaseOS gpgcheck=no enabled=yes state=present"

Looks like everything ok, BUT when I'm log in to the managed node and try to do yum repolist, i received:
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Then I've subscribed system with rhel subscription manager, but again when I'm log in to the managed node and try to do yum repolist, I received exactly the same error (in regards of my local repos on control's node in /var/ftp/repo directory):
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

I need to use my local repo in /var/ftp/repo,please help me to understand where I was wrong! Also, when I tried to install some pkg using ad-hoc command I receive an error:
[ansible@control ~]$ ansible ansible1 -u root --ask-pass -m yum -a "name=httpd state=latest"
