Ansible-role-elastic-cluster

The role is fully functional, all tasks pass. I have to fix Github Actions, and also write molecule tests.

Github Actions does not pass since the image does not have enough space, and can therefore not run the Kibana, Beats, and Elasticsearch docker images. I know that the problem is related to space since I ran the workflow in my personal repository, with a bigger self-hosted runner, and it passes. So, what should we do? I know that Github provides larger runners to organizations and enterprises, so maybe we can utilize these? Or we could just use a self-hosted runner.

I wanted to provide some context regarding how the role is set up when it comes to the Windows part:

• I could not create a Docker-based installation for Elastic Beats on Windows hosts, since there were issues starting Docker. Windows uses docker-desktop and I could not start it without using the GUI.
• There is not any molecule.yml file for Windows, since there is not a Windows docker container that works with Ansible, and I could not manage to set up Vagrant. I instead used a Windows VM which I specified in the ansible hosts file, and ran the role using ansible-playbook instead of molecule. But I am sure molecule would work when setting up Vagrant correctly.
