transports
Bolt uses transports (also known as protocols) to establish a connection with a target in order to run actions on the target. The default transport is SSH, and you can see available transports along with their configuration options and defaults at http://pup.pt/bolt-reference. You can specify a transport for a target by prepending '<transport>://' to the target's URI. For example, to connect to a target with hostname 'example.com' as user 'Administrator' using the WinRM transport, you would pass the following to the target flag: winrm://Administrator@example.com You can also specify a default transport for all targets by passing the '--transport' flag on *nix systems and the '-Transport' flag in Powershell. Finally, you can set the transport for a target in the inventory. For more information about the Bolt inventory, run 'bolt guide inventory'.
