title: Run Ansible-Playbook on localhost on Windows
body: <p>I know Ansible supports Windows clients/nodes. What I really enjoy about Ansible is that I can create a Linux VM, pull a git repo that contains Ansible playbooks for and without any configuration or setup of a control server, I am able to run the playbook on the local machine. </p>
  
  <p>Since you can execute Python on Windows, would it be possible to run roles/playbooks on localhost on Windows?</p>
  
  <p>This would be the first step for running Ansible in a datacenter with only Windows where it is not possible to even run Linux in VirtualBox.</p>
