How do you call ansible-playbook from Azure?

Question

How do you call an ansible-playbook from within Azure? Where is the command run from?

I have Ansible installed on a VM in Azure, and host I want to configure is located on a VM in our resource group. I can log into that machine and call ansible-playbook from the command line. But how can i call ansible-playbook remotely, from outside of that ansible machine?

Is there a best practice? Can anyone provide me any examples?

Answer 1

It looks like there is an option to configure it in Azure Cloud Shell .

Another possibility would be to deploy another host. And simply install Ansible on that machine.
