Ansible for Windows. How, Why and When?

It is time to get going and try a virtual meetup!
This time around, we invited Anthony Lin from Singapore to talk about Windows automation using Ansible. Anthony is Red Hat's Senior Specialist Solution Architect and has been an Ansible champion in APAC region.

Background:
It’s hard to find a homogeneous IT stack nowadays. You may have a Linux server farm, but an AD cluster providing identity. Or you have a cross-platform build environment that builds your software for multiple different targets.

Your management and automation tools need to be able to handle multiple, vastly different targets - Linux, Unix, networking, cloud services… and Windows.
