Ansible CLI requires a POSIX Compliant Shell. Because of this the Ansible commands should be run from Linux or from a Windows machine with Windows Subsystem for Linux. #todo: mkd - add some details here

• install python
• install pip
• instal ansible 2.4+ (2.6 preferred)
• must install ansible azure dependencies pip install ansible[azure]

• to bootstrap windows server run the bootstrap_winrm.ps1 script on the Windows Server (Assumes you have the latest version of Windows Server 2016)
