Oh ! That sounds interesting. You might want to write your own ssh server using twisted for windows server that processes some commands you define and translates them to some powershell calls parses them and sends them back to your flask app which would be acting as an ssh client.
A start would be here: https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/_downloads/sshsimpleserver.py >From the process running on the windows server, wait for connections, establish the connection, parse the incoming commands you define, and generate powershell commands, then execute powershell commands from python and send the parsed result back to your calling process. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14508809/run-powershell-function-from-python-script . Maybe there are oppinions on security of this relative to winRM I think maybe winRM uses kerberos for auth?
