The ping module is not the classical ping command but an Ansible module that
will connetc to the remote host via SSH and send back
a "pong" if that succeeds. See the docs.
If you want to use the classical ping command you need to use the "command" or
"shell" module to call that from Ansible; but
beware that this task needs to be run on localhost to reflect what you would
usually do on the command line.
