Ansible playbook execution via SSM (on windows) - how does it work?

0

I understand that it is possible to use SSM state manager to run an Ansible playbook against an EC2 instance (windows instance).

For linux, my understanding is that Ansible should be installed locally (on the target) in order for the playbook to run against a linux instance.

However, Ansible does not support windows for running the control. So, I'm curious how / where Ansible is actually running.

Can anyone help me understand this?

It seems Ansible will use PowerShell or Command Prompt to execute the command
