Configuration of PA Firewall from Asnible - need assitance

[kaijaz]

Hello Friends,

I am new in terms of automation things, I belong to Cisco Network and Secuirty world, however I am learning and implementing Ansible taking help from documents but still no sucess - I still unable to Push Playbook config to directly my Palato Firewall -

I have installed asnible - below is version,

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.4.2.0

I created an new playbook configuration (Config pasted in last), while I executed playbook "palo_2.yml" find below output, I am pretty sure I am missing critical part which prevents connecting my playbook with to my Firewall - I also red http://panwansible.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html but did not underatand the concept.

I would appreciate if anyone can share configuration of from scratch Step to Step - how to connect Anible to Palo Alto Firewall - what and how to install patches - 

$ ansible-playbook palo_2.yml
