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.
attach_caching string	Choices: read_only read_write	Disk caching policy controlled by VM. Will be used when attached to the VM defined by `managed_by`. If this option is different from the current caching policy, the managed disk will be deattached and attached with current caching option again.
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.
create_option string	Choices: empty import copy	`import` from a VHD file in source_uri and `copy` from previous managed disk source_uri.
disk_size_gb string		Size in GB of the managed disk to be created. If create_option=copy then the value must be greater than or equal to the source's size.
location string		Valid Azure location. Defaults to location of the resource group.
log_mode string		Parent argument.
log_path string		Parent argument.
lun integer		The logical unit number for data disk. This value is used to identify data disks within the VM and therefore must be unique for each data disk attached to a VM.
managed_by string		Name of an existing virtual machine with which the disk is or will be associated, this VM should be in the same resource group. To detach a disk from a vm, explicitly set to ''. If this option is unset, the value will not be changed.
name string / required		Name of the managed disk.
os_type string	Choices: linux windows	Type of Operating System. Used when create_option=copy or create_option=import and the source is an OS disk. If omitted during creation, no value is set. If omitted during an update, no change is made. Once set, this value cannot be cleared.
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.
resource_group string / required		Name of a resource group where the managed disk exists or will be created.
secret string		Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
source_uri string		URI to a valid VHD file to be used or the resource ID of the managed disk to copy. aliases: source_resource_uri
state string	Choices: absent present ←	Assert the state of the managed disk. Use `present` to create or update a managed disk and `absent` to delete a managed disk.
storage_account_type string	Choices: Standard_LRS StandardSSD_LRS Premium_LRS UltraSSD_LRS	Type of storage for the managed disk. If not specified, the disk is created as `Standard_LRS`. `Standard_LRS` is for Standard HDD. `StandardSSD_LRS` (added in 2.8) is for Standard SSD. `Premium_LRS` is for Premium SSD. `UltraSSD_LRS` (added in 2.8) is for Ultra SSD, which is in preview mode, and only available on select instance types. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types for more information about disk types.
subscription_id string		Your Azure subscription Id.
tags dictionary		Tags to assign to the managed disk. Format tags as 'key' or 'key:value'.
tenant string		Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
zone string	Choices: 1 2 3	The Azure managed disk's zone. Allowed values are `1`, `2`, `3` and `' '`.

Notes

Note

This module was called community.azure.azure_rm_managed_disk before Ansible 2.8. The usage did not change.
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.
