Is there any noise about being able to use Windows as an Ansible host? I like Ansible far more than the alternatives, but I can't make developers I work with keep a Linux VM running just to run Ansible to provision a development VM. That would be... crazy.


Not that I've heard, but I'm just a regular contributor and not a maintainer. The last I heard, the chances were somewhere between "when pigs fly" and "LOL no". Then again, at one point the idea of supporting Windows hosts was unlikely and yet here we are.

That said, I wonder how well it'd run under Cygwin. I've never even attempted this experiment so I don't have the foggiest.
