Summary
As mentioned at the start of the chapter, using what we would consider a traditional Linux tool such as Ansible on Windows always feels a little strange. However, I am sure you will agree that the experience is as Linux-like as possible.
When I first started experimenting with the Windows modules, I was surprised that I managed to launch a Windows Server in Azure and deploy a simple web application without having to remote desktop into the target instance.
With each new release, Ansible gets more and more support for Windows-based hosts, making it easy to manage mixed workloads from your playbooks.
In the next chapter, we will examine the networking modules available in Ansible.
