However, the box where self-hosted-engine is running is a physical server but I am looking to run ansible from my local machine instead to manage vms running on engineVM. Is there a way to achieve this?

Sure you can use your own computer to manage the VMs.

In your playbook you just need to specify group/host where the tasks of
the playbook should run.

So if using the ovirt4.py script as your inventory file, you need to
just specify specific group where you want to run the tasks in your
playbook like this:

- hosts: tag_httpd
   tasks:
     ...

If you want to Create/Delete VMs using ovirt_* modules, you can do it
from your computer as well, but you need to install Python SDK version
4. You can download it from pip using following command: pip install
ovirt-engine-sdk-python.
