AWS role

Our first role will create the VPC and launch the EC2 instance. To bootstrap the role change, go to the cloud folder and run:

$ cd cloud$ ansible-galaxy init roles/aws

Let's start with the contents of roles/aws/defaults/main.yml first:

vpc_cidr_block: "10.0.0.0/16"the_subnets:  - { use: 'ec2', az: 'a', subnet: '10.0.10.0/24' }ec2:  instance_type: "t2.large"  wait_port: "5986"image:  base: Windows_Server-2016-English-Full-Base-*  owner: amazon  architecture: x86_64  root_device: ebswin_initial_password: "{{ lookup('password', 'group_vars/generated_administrator chars=ascii_letters,digits length=30') }}"

As you can see, we are only going to be using a single subnet and we are going to be looking for a Windows Server 2016 AMI during the playbook ...
