      Description of problem:

      Upon importing Windows VMs using the KubeVirt plugin, the ansible_connection fact uses "ssh" instead of "winrm". This causes a failure to connect to the Windows VMs.

       

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create a Win VM
2. Import the VM via KubeVirt Plugin
3. Check the Host Variables and you will see ansible_connection: "ssh"

      Expected results:

      ansible_connection: "winrm"

      Additional info:

      In addition, if you attempt to make these changes in the Group level, the variables don't have precedence over Host vars (as expected) so setting ansible_connections: winrm at the group level will not work. The workaround for now is to manually adjust the ansible_connection var at the host level and set to winrm.

      Also as an FYI, if you are using self-signed certificates you need:

      ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore

      We need to make sure if do need this, set it at the Group Level and let users know how to do that.
