STEPS TO REPRODUCE

   - name: apply config
      cisco.ios.ios_service:
        config:
          tcp_keepalives_in: true
          tcp_keepalives_out: true
          timestamps:
            - msg: log
              enable: true
              timestamp: datetime
              datetime_options:
                localtime: true
                msec: true
            - msg: debug
              enable: true
              timestamp: datetime
              datetime_options:
                localtime: true
                msec: true
          password_encryption: true
          pad: false
          config: false
          tcp_small_servers:
            enable: false
          udp_small_servers:
            enable: false
          call_home: true
          private_config_encryption: false
        state: overridden

Makes this configuration on the switch:

service tcp-keepalives-in
service tcp-keepalives-out
service timestamps debug datetime msec
no service timestamps log
service password-encryption
no service private-config-encryption
service call-home
 service-policy input system-cpp-policy

When running with rendered it makes no sense either:

  rendered:
  - service call-home
  - service counters max age 0
  - service dhcp
  - service password-encryption
  - service password-recovery
  - service prompt config
  - service slave-log
  - service tcp-keepalives-in
  - service tcp-keepalives-out
