Example Playbook

    - hosts: localhost
      roles:
        - dev-sec.windows-hardening

Local Testing

For all our tests we use test-kitchen. If you are not familiar with test-kitchen please have a look at their guide.

We create multiple hosts - one linux host where Ansible runs on and the Windows hosts.

Next install test-kitchen:

# Install dependencies
gem install bundler
bundle install

Then you can run the playbook and tests:

# create the ansible and windows hosts
bundle exec kitchen create

# run ansible playbook on windows host
bundle exec kitchen converge default-ansibleserver

# verify windows machines
bundle exec kitchen verify windows
