Alistair Mackay:
You can manage Windows servers with Ansible, however the control node (the one running the playbooks) must be Linux (though it may work form WSL in Windows).

Windows has its own native thing called PowerShell DSC which by and large fills the Ansible role.

@Alistair Mackay isn’t terraform better option tomanager servers and ansible as a tool to manage softwares on those servers?

Alistair Mackay:
Correct.
Terraform is for creating infrastructure. Ansible is for managing what’s running on servers.
