DEPRECATED

Removed in: version 2.0.0
Why: The Ansible collection community.azure is deprecated. Use azure.azcollection instead.
Alternative: Use azure.azcollection.azure_rm_resource_info instead.

Synopsis

Obtain facts of any resource using Azure REST API.
This module gives access to resources that are not supported via Ansible modules.
Refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/ regarding details related to specific resource REST API.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7
The host that executes this module must have the azure.azcollection collection installed via galaxy
All python packages listed in collection’s requirements-azure.txt must be installed via pip on the host that executes modules from azure.azcollection
Full installation instructions may be found https://galaxy.ansible.com/azure/azcollection

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.
api_version string			Specific API version to be used.
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.
log_mode string			Parent argument.
log_path string			Parent argument.
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.
provider string			Provider type, should be specified in no URL is given.
resource_group string			Resource group to be used. Required if URL is not specified.
resource_name string			Resource name.
resource_type string			Resource type.
secret string			Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
subresource string			List of subresources.
	name string		Subresource name.
	namespace string		Subresource namespace.
	type string		Subresource type.
subscription_id string			Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string			Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
url string			Azure RM Resource URL.

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.
