Greetings.
Just a note for anyone looking for ansible in epel7.
It's been retired there because with the release of RHEL 7.4 it's now
int the rhel-extras channel.

Accordingly, you can get ansible now from rhel extras channel, or CentOS
extras repo.
You can also get ansible rpms now from
http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/rpm/
Note that ansible continues to be available from epel6.
Since Ansible was added as an "unsupported dependency" for the System
Roles feature, it's a bit different from other things in that it's
unlikely to receive updates.
Users of Ansible should probably avoid depending on the Extras version
unless they're okay with no fixes to it... :/
Ansible upstream has added rpm packages for those who might get suck in
that situation. It won't be exactly like the epel versions and we
[upstream] haven't quite worked out all the things (like having an rpm with
the repo config files in it) but hopefully it will be useful.

(Official releases are packaged in the releases subdir, hopefully the other
subdirs are equally self explanatory)
