Okay, we need to install the epel-release first. @jazz32pf
First install the epel-release pkg: -

sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

after that verify it through rpm command: -

sudo rpm -aq | grep epel

and then install the ansible: -

sudo yum install ansible

Let me know if you are facing any other issues.

Regards,

It works! I am sorry that I am new to Linux, so I wonder how you figure out the issue? I hope I can solve the problem on my own.

Yes, sure.
As you can see in the below output. epel release pkg is not available.

So I looked into their official page for more instructions.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el9

and with help of dnf command, installing the rpm pkg.
