New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Creates, deletes, and updates DNS records sets and records within an existing Azure DNS Zone.

Requirements

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

  • python >= 2.7
  • azure >= 2.0.0

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
ad_user Default:
None
Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
api_profile
(added in 2.5)
    Choices:
  • 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.
auth_source
(added in 2.5)
    Choices:
  • auto
  • cli
  • credential_file
  • env
Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication.
auto will follow the default precedence of module parameters -> environment variables -> default profile in credential file ~/.azure/credentials.
When set to cli, the credentials will be sources from the default Azure CLI profile.
Can also be set via the ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE environment variable.
cert_validation_mode
(added in 2.5)
    Choices:
  • validate
  • ignore
Default:
None
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 Default:
None
Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment
(added in 2.4)
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.
password Default:
None
Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile Default:
None
Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
record_mode
    Choices:
  • append
  • purge
whether existing record values not sent to the module should be purged
record_type
required
    Choices:
  • A
  • AAAA
  • CNAME
  • MX
  • NS
  • SRV
  • TXT
  • PTR
the type of record set to create or delete
records
list of records to be created depending on the type of record (set)
priority

entry
primary data value for all record types.
preference
used for creating an MX record set/records
weight
used for creating an SRV record set/records
port
used for creating an SRV record set/records
relative_name
required
relative name of the record set
resource_group
required
name of resource group
secret Default:
None
Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present
Assert the state of the record set. Use present to create or update and absent to delete.
subscription_id Default:
None
Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant Default:
None
Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
time_to_live Default:
3600
time to live of the record set in seconds
zone_name
required
name of the existing DNS zone in which to manage the record set

Notes

Note

  • For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables or use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials. Authentication is 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.
