body: <p>I'm not able to execute kubectl(v1.16.3) commands in the ansible command module.</p>
  
  <p>For e.g. Creation of Namespace using ansible.</p>
  
  <pre>
      tasks:

  <p>I'm ending up with the below error:</p>

  <p>NOTE: But I'm able to do "kubectl create -f .." manually..and it is creating the stuff.</p>
  
  <p><b>My Ansible version:</b></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ansible --version

  <p>FYI, I also tried with Ansible - 2.4.2 as well. But No luck.</p>
  
  <p><b>My System OS: CentOS 7</b></p>
  
  <p><b>My queries:</b></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>What is this error mean "[Errno 2] No such file or directory" in my context?</p></li>
  <li><p>I came to know that Ansible introduced kubectl &amp; k8s module: Is there anyone in the community using these.. If Yes, please let me know how to use them. If they any prerequisites - please share them
  For kubectl Module: Came to know that the pre-requisite is kubectl go library.May I know where can I 
                      get this Library.</p></li>
  <li><p>when the kubectl version is 1.8 and ansible version is 2.4.2 - I'm able to get the K8s resources created using "kubectl create -f ..." using command module. But when I upgraded my cluster from v1.8 to v1.16.3 - I'm not able to create the resources using "kubectl create -f ..." using command module. Let me if I missed doing things.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for the Community</p>
