Provision Windows Server 2016 in AWS using Ansible via CloudFormation

For some testing I had to provision the Windows Servers 2016 in AWS. I'm using ansible for "linux" server provisioning and managing the AWS I tried it for the Windows server as well.

Because I'm not a windows user it was quite complicated for me so here is the way how I did it.
I'm not sure if it's the right one, but maybe those snippets may help somebody...

Here is the file/directory structure:

.
├── group_vars
│   └── all
├── tasks
│   ├── create_cf_stack.yml
│   └── win.yml
├── templates
│   └── aws_cf_stack.yml.j2
├── run_aws.sh
└── site_aws.yml




Here you can find the files:

• group_vars/all

• tasks/create_cf_stack.yml

• tasks/win.yml

• templates/aws_cf_stack.yml.j2

• site_aws.yml

• run_aws.sh

You needs to run the run_aws.sh and do necessary modifications in the group_vars/all to get it working...

Enjoy :-)
