To get the IP for running ansible in shell-local do:
A) Run a shell provisioner that saves the IP in a file. Use a file
provisioner to download it and read it in the shell-local script.
Or B) use some aws tag specific to this build and run the aws cli to find
the IP of that instance.
I would expect Ansible 2.8 with WinRM support in Packer to be at best
rocky. But if you are into troubleshooting things it's probably worth at
least trying.
