This guide provides an instruction on how to use virtual desktop c2d-xtop as an Ansible Control Node  that utilizes the private Automation Hub running on c2d-galaxy1. You can connect to the GUI of this desktop using an RDP connection or you can simply SSH into it using vagrant ssh c2d-xtop. From there you can use for example ansible-galaxy command line to download / publish collections.
