Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
ad_user string			Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection			Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
api_profile string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection		Default: "latest"	Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of `latest` is appropriate for public clouds; future values will allow use with Azure Stack.
append_tags boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Use to control if tags field is canonical or just appends to existing tags. When canonical, any tags not found in the tags parameter will be removed from the object's metadata.
auth_source string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection		Choices: auto ← cli credential_file env msi	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. Can also be set via the `ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE` environment variable. When set to `auto` (the default) the precedence is module parameters -> `env` -> `credential_file` -> `cli`. When set to `env`, the credentials will be read from the environment variables When set to `credential_file`, it will read the profile from `~/.azure/credentials`. When set to `cli`, the credentials will be sources from the Azure CLI profile. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if more than one is present otherwise the default az cli subscription is used. When set to `msi`, the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if the resource is granted access to more than one subscription, otherwise the first subscription is chosen. The `msi` was added in Ansible 2.6.
cert_validation_mode string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection		Choices: ignore validate	Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints. By default, all modules will validate the server certificate, but when an HTTPS proxy is in use, or against Azure Stack, it may be necessary to disable this behavior by passing `ignore`. Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CERT_VALIDATION` environment variable.
client_id string			Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection		Default: "AzureCloud"	For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, `AzureChinaCloud`, `AzureUSGovernment`), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable.
dns_config string			The DNS settings of the Traffic Manager profile.
	relative_name string		The relative DNS name provided by this Traffic Manager profile. If no provided, name of the Traffic Manager will be used
	ttl string	Default: 60	The DNS Time-To-Live (TTL), in seconds.
endpoints string			The list of endpoints in the Traffic Manager profile.
	endpoint_location string		Specifies the location of the external or nested endpoints when using the 'Performance' traffic routing method.
	endpoint_status string	Choices: Enabled Disabled	The status of the endpoint.
	geo_mapping string		The list of countries/regions mapped to this endpoint when using the 'Geographic' traffic routing method.
	id string		Fully qualified resource Id for the resource.
	min_child_endpoints string		The minimum number of endpoints that must be available in the child profile in order for the parent profile to be considered available. Only applicable to endpoint of type 'NestedEndpoints'.
	name string / required		The name of the endpoint.
	priority string		The priority of this endpoint when using the 'Priority' traffic routing method. Possible values are from 1 to 1000, lower values represent higher priority. This is an optional parameter. If specified, it must be specified on all endpoints. No two endpoints can share the same priority value.
	target string		The fully-qualified DNS name of the endpoint.
	target_resource_id string		The Azure Resource URI of the of the endpoint. Not applicable to endpoints of type 'ExternalEndpoints'.
	type string / required		The type of the endpoint. Ex- Microsoft.network/TrafficManagerProfiles/ExternalEndpoints.
	weight string		The weight of this endpoint when using the 'Weighted' traffic routing method. Possible values are from 1 to 1000.
location string			Valid azure location. Defaults to 'global'.
log_mode string			Parent argument.
log_path string			Parent argument.
monitor_config string		Default: {"path": "/", "port": 80, "protocol": "HTTP"}	The endpoint monitoring settings of the Traffic Manager profile.
	interval_in_seconds string		The monitor interval for endpoints in this profile.
	path string		The path relative to the endpoint domain name used to probe for endpoint health.
	port string		The TCP port used to probe for endpoint health.
	protocol string	Choices: HTTP HTTPS TCP	The protocol (HTTP, HTTPS or TCP) used to probe for endpoint health.
	timeout_in_seconds string		The monitor timeout for endpoints in this profile.
	tolerated_number_of_failures string		The number of consecutive failed health check before declaring an endpoint in this profile Degraded after the next failed health check.
name string / required			Name of the Traffic Manager profile.
password string			Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile string			Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
profile_status string		Choices: Enabled ← Disabled	The status of the Traffic Manager profile.
resource_group string / required			Name of a resource group where the Traffic Manager profile exists or will be created.
secret string			Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state string		Choices: absent present ←	Assert the state of the Traffic Manager profile. Use `present` to create or update a Traffic Manager profile and `absent` to delete it.
subscription_id string			Your Azure subscription Id.
tags dictionary			Dictionary of string:string pairs to assign as metadata to the object. Metadata tags on the object will be updated with any provided values. To remove tags set append_tags option to false. Currently, Azure DNS zones and Traffic Manager services also don't allow the use of spaces in the tag. Azure Front Door doesn't support the use of Azure Automation and Azure CDN only support 15 tags on resources.
tenant string			Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
traffic_routing_method string		Choices: Performance ← Priority Weighted Geographic	The traffic routing method of the Traffic Manager profile.

Notes

Note

For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with az login.
Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.
To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
