Wrangling Your Windows Infrastructure With Ansible
summary
Creates an Azure VM from nothing using Ansible and the azure.az collection, registers the public IP and patches the hosts inventory, enables WinRM by running configure remoting for ansible via the custom script extension, creates a dedicated Ansible user, installs Chocolatey packages and PowerShell modules, applies GPOs via PolicyFileEditor and emits files from Jinja2 templates. Demo runs end to end and succeeds, with practical notes on YAML indentation, WinRM connectivity, collection/module naming quirks and when to prefer idempotent PowerShell tasks.
