please use other way to implement the actions in packer hyper-v builder ansible provisioner

As we know, Hyper-V is for windows only, and currently ansible is not able to run natively on windows. So please consider use other way to implement the actions in hyper-v builder ansible provisioner

thanks.

Actually, it works on top of WSL if you create a few bat/powershell wrappers for ansible commands and add a few hacks to a Packer template.

Our official Azure image https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/almalinux.almalinux has been built on Windows using Ansible as the provisioner.

I need some time to polish my configs and write Windows-releated documentation before submitting it to this repo, will close that ticket when I'm done with it.

An alternative could be:

  provisioner "shell" {
    execute_command = "echo 'vagrant' | {{ .Vars }} sudo -S -E bash '{{ .Path }}'"
    scripts         = ["scripts/ansible.sh"]
  }
  provisioner "ansible-local" {
    extra_arguments = ["--extra-vars", "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"]
    galaxy_file = "./ansible/roles/requirements.yml"
    playbook_dir = "./ansible"
    playbook_file = "./ansible/packer-playbook.yml"
  }
