Hi Sina,
These should be part of the cloud-init dictionary and are strict about
indentation.
e.g. from the documentation.

ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm:
name: rhel7
template: rhel7
cluster: Default
memory: 1GiB
high_availability: true
high_availability_priority: 50 # Available from Ansible 2.5
cloud_init:
dns_servers: '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'
nic_boot_protocol: static
nic_ip_address: 10.34.60.86
nic_netmask: 255.255.252.0
nic_gateway: 10.34.63.254
nic_name: eth1
host_name: example.com
custom_script: |
