Description of problem: When setting kubeconfig with relative path, run wsu ansible playbook will fail in TASK [Check for bootstrap CSR]. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # oc get clusterversion NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING SINCE STATUS version 4.3.0-0.nightly-2019-11-29-051144 True False 6h57m Cluster version is 4.3.0-0.nightly-2019-11-29-051144 # git show commit 22f339a49465138862a490adc632fb11ce62cb20 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OCP 4.3 cluster with ovn-kubernetes 2. Set KUBECONFIG with relative path # export KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig-72923 3. Create windows instance with wni # ./wni azure create --kubeconfig kubeconfig-72923 --credentials ~/.azure/osServicePrincipal.json --image-id MicrosoftWindowsServer:WindowsServer:2019-Datacenter-with-Containers:latest --instance-type Standard_D2s_v3 4. Run wsu ansible playbook Actual results: Ansible run succeed. Expected results: Ansible run failed, oc command can not find kubeconfig file. # ansible-playbook -i hosts ~/go/src/windows-machine-config-operator/tools/ansible/tasks/wsu/main.yaml -v ... TASK [Check for bootstrap CSR] ****** FAILED - RETRYING: Check for bootstrap CSR (2 retries left). FAILED - RETRYING: Check for bootstrap CSR (1 retries left). fatal: [13.67.137.145 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 2, "changed": true, "cmd": "oc get csr | awk '/system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper/ && /Pending/ {print $1}'", "delta": "0:00:00.103710", "end": "2019-12-02 18:25:35.516440", "rc": 0, "start": "2019-12-02 18:25:35.412730", "stderr": "error: Missing or incomplete configuration info.

Update the docs stating you need to provide absolute path for the kubeconfig.
QE testing passed by checking docs, thanks.
