if you are using non root account and want to do privilege escalation to root then you need to add
become: yes
become_user: root
to the apt-upgrade.yml file and when you execute script ad -K to the command: _ansible-playbook apt-upgrade.yml -K _ it will ask password then.
Another option is directly ssh as root or save root password to the protected place. Then also all hosts need to have same passwords
