Add me as a +1 for Hyper-V / SCVMM support. We are a mixed VMware and Hyper-V shop. We looked at vRealize Automation (vRA) but it's support for Hyper-V networking is lacking, therefore we cannot use it. I am also looking into Kelverion's VM provisioning stack because they claim to be able to

It's honestly not something we get asked about much. There aren't really many technical hurdles to doing so beyond, "we just don't have the modules for it". If somebody wanted to write one, there's a good chance we'd accept it, but with all the other improvements needed in Windows-land over the

Matt, I just wanted to chime in on this that i too would be interested in seeing Ansible support for Hyper-V. We utilize Hyper-V core for our test labs and i have been able to hack some work around with powershell to do VM creation and start up but its sloppy. I really wanted to use Ansible in
