I'm trying to provision Azure Windows VM using saltstack. The VM is provisioned successfully but when saltstack tries to install salt-minion it tries to connect to Windows VM using port 22 which doesn't work.
The default behavior of salt-cloud is after provisioning VM - it tries to install salt-minion on new VM. But for windows it tries to connect using port 22.
Any idea why and how to fix this?
salt-cloud -p azure-win2012 test6: (This is the command to deploy a VM named test6 using profile azure-win2012)

Figured it out. I had to specify few more things in the profile like use_winrm and winrm_port etc.,
Here is the working cloud profile.
