Hello Everyone, 

Can anyone answer this?
What are the different ways other than SSH by which Ansible can connect to remote hosts?

Thanks in advance

Ssh is used for remote connections in linux while we can use WinRM for connecting to the windows server remotely

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/connection.html may well
answer your question.

Many plugins are available, chroot, jail, lxd, psrp, funcd, basically
anything that allows transferring of files and command execution can
be used as a transport, as long as someone writes a connection plugin
for it.
