Good afternoon with everyone, I hope you have a great day.  
Could you help me with a problem, I will explain my problem shortly:  
I am in charge of creating instances from amis already designed, I think it’s great I am working with ansible and json.  
When creating instances in Linux, I’m doing great, the question is when I try to create instances in windows. The instance creates me but does not give me access, I think it is through the firewall, I saw a module of “firewalld” in ansible to adapt it to my pc but it tells me that the python does not grab.  
I read in other articles and saw that the firewalld module is generating conflicts with python.  
The question I wish to solve that problem to close my sprint and see other tasks, if someone of good will can help me I would appreciate it.  
I am using these parameters:

ubuntu: 18.04

ansible: 2.8.6

python: 2.7.15+

aws\_friendly\_region: ‘us-east-1 : US East (N. Virginia)’

Could you please tell clearly:

- What you are trying to achieve.  
- How you are doing this.  
- What problems you encounter.  
- Which command did you run, and what output did you get from that  
(copied as text, not as images/attachments/screenshots)  
- What the relevant tasks/playbooks/code/variables look like

1. I am trying to create instances in windows from amis, for linux if it is created.

2. I am running my playbook to create my instance, this one does compile me but does not give me remote access.

3. The problem is that I cannot log in remotely and see my instance, I am using remmina in this way: ip, username, password. All this in RDP.

4. 

The playbook I run it this way:

**ansible-playbook -e @variables.yml -i hosts site.yml**

After that I do the 3. Here the remina does not open to me.  
5. It is in my work mode:

templates---------→ groupvars.j2  
vars---------------→ kp-xxx.pem

> 

------------→ main.yml  
hosts  
secrets.json  
site.yml  
variables.yml

**In hosts:**

[local]  
localhost

[webserver]

**In secrets.json:**

{  
“aws\_access\_key”: “ABC”,  
“aws\_secret\_key”: “123C”  
}

**In variables.yml:**
