Ansible, Azure & WSL survival guide (VS Code bonus track)
Hi all you new DevOps! This guide is meant for poor Windows' users struggling to get Ansible working on their workstations, like me few days ago :-( Scenario: you're involved in a brand new cloud project on Azure, you're trying to make things work with Ansible and your company provides you a Windows 10 ™ PC, but Ansible DO NOT RUN on Windows. In addiction you're lazy and bored to start yet another virtual machine, just to type "git pull" and "ansible-palybook" :-D (by the way your precious SSD is getting dangerously full). And you do want your memory greed Visual Studio Code, with autocompletion, syntax highlight, all-known languages modules and other silly stuff. First of all, let's install WSL (if you don't know what WSL is, google it): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 I assume you installed an Ubuntu 16.04 upon WSL. Quite simple, isn't it? Now you should install Ansible and all needed Azure modules....
