If you just started getting these, upgrade your target system packages.

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "failed to fetch key at https://rpms.remirepo.net/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi2018 , error was: Request failed: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:618)>"}

Personally I was only installing security and bugfixes like

- name: Upgrade packages
yum: name: '*' state: latest security: yes bugfix: yes

Once I run yum update to install all packages, including an update to ‘ca-certificates.noarch 0:2021.2.50–72.el7_9’ everything is working again.

Before:
