While some people already answered with "it's in EPEL" (and they
are
absolutely right), there are other alternatives.
While EPEL would only support one branch (so actually they jumped to
$latest, aka 2.7.8 for now), there are cases when one needs to stick
with a particular version of ansible, also because of ensuring that
playbook code is still working, having to reflected deprecated things, etc.
Or that can be also (thinking about openshift and openshift-ansible
deployment, that only support 2.6.x and break with 2.7.x for now), that
some other tools in your framework depend on a specific version too.
That's the reason why the CentOS Configuration Management SIG still
builds and provide ansible :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/configmanagement/x86_64/
We (CentOS Infra, for some reasons explained above) still rely on 2.6.x,
so installing (without epel) that release is just a matter of :
yum install -y centos-release-ansible26 && yum install ansible
Of course, if you mix that with Epel, don't forget to put an exclude in
epel yum repo config (exclude=ansible) to stick with the one from
cfgmgmt SIG :)
So don't also get me wrong : I'm *not* saying that the Epel version
isn't good, but I just wanted to offer alternatives, and also reasons
why they exist
