Ansible Development Enviroment - Windows Module Development

Build a Virtual Development Enviroment for Ansible Windows Module Development

Creates a Ubuntu 16.x Box with DNS Masq pointing to the Windows Domaincontroler on the desired Activedirectory Domain and mounting the Ansible Source in it, so all dns lookups for the Activedirectory Domain works also on the ansidev box.

Allow to Spinup more Windows Boxes in the Enviroment for Debugging some usecases(See Define needed Windows Servers here in Vagrant File).

Also automatic Source the env-setup Script and cd into shared playbook directory on vagrant ssh ansidev!

Usage

• Change the Path ansible_repo in the vagrant file to your Ansible Source folder
• "vagrant up ansidev"
• If a Domaincontroller is needed
  • "vagrant up dc1"
• Add more Windows Server Boxes in the Vagrant File under the Define needed Windows Servers here Section

Use playground folder for building your playbooks and usecases for development and debugging

Run Ansible Development Machine - ansidev

vagrant up ansidev

Run the Domaincontroller - dc1

vagrant up dc1

Rebuild all Systems

vagrant destroy
vagrant up

Rebuild only one System

vagrant destroy vmname
vagrant up vmname
