Ansible Role: virtio-win

Ansible Galaxy: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ruzickap/virtio-win/

This role should help with installing Virtio Windows drivers and spice-guest-tools:

• Virtio Network Driver (netkvm)
• Virtio Block Driver (viostor)
• QXL Graphics Driver (qxldod)
• VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller Driver (vioscsi)
• Baloon Driver (Balloon)
• Virtio RNG driver (viorng)
• Virtio serial driver (vioserial)
• Virtio Input driver (vioinput)
• pvpanic device driver (pvpanic)
• Qemu Guest Agent (qemu-ga-x86_64)
• SPICE Guest Tools (vdagent-win)

It's handy if you are running Windows on the KVM hypervisor, because you will get the best performance using VirtIO drivers + tools.
