Synopsis

Manage Azure virtual machines

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
accept_terms	bool		`false`	Accept terms for Marketplace images that require it.
Only Azure service admin/account admin users can purchase images from the Marketplace.
Only valid when a I(plan) is specified.
ad_user	string			Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
additional_capabilities	dict			Enables or disables a capability on the virtual machine.
adfs_authority_url	string			Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
admin_password	string			Password for the admin username.
Not required if the I(os_type=Linux) and SSH password authentication is disabled by setting I(ssh_password_enabled=false).
admin_username	string			Admin username used to access the VM after it is created.
Required when creating a VM, except when I(specialized_image=true) or I(swap_os_disk) is set - in those cases the OS user identities are already baked into the source image or disk.
allocated	bool		`true`	Whether the VM is allocated or deallocated, only useful with I(state=present).
api_profile	string		`latest`	Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of C(latest) is appropriate for public clouds; future values will allow use with Azure Stack.
append_tags	bool		`true`	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		`auto`	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication.
Can also be set via the C(ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE) environment variable.
When set to C(auto) (the default) the precedence is module parameters -> C(env) -> C(credential_file) -> C(cli).
When set to C(env), the credentials will be read from the environment variables.
When set to C(credential_file), it will read the profile from C(~/.azure/credentials).
When set to C(cli), the credentials will be sources from the Azure CLI profile. C(subscription_id) or the environment variable C(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 C(msi), the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. C(subscription_id) or the environment variable C(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 C(msi) was added in Ansible 2.6.
availability_set	string			Name or ID of an existing availability set to add the VM to. The I(availability_set) should be in the same resource group as VM.
boot_diagnostics	dict			Manage boot diagnostics settings for a VM.
Boot diagnostics includes a serial console and remote console screenshots.
capacity_reservation_group	dict			The name or ID of the capacity reservation group to be associated with.
cert_validation_mode	string			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 C(ignore). Can also be set via credential file profile or the C(AZURE_CERT_VALIDATION) environment variable.
client_id	string			Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal or Managed Identity (msi).
Can also be set via the C(AZURE_CLIENT_ID) environment variable.
cloud_environment	string		`AzureCloud`	For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, C(AzureChinaCloud), C(AzureUSGovernment)), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the C(AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT) environment variable.
created_nsg	bool		`true`	Whether network security group created and attached to network interface or not.
custom_data	string			Data made available to the VM and used by C(cloud-init).
Only used on Linux images with C(cloud-init) enabled.
Consult U(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/using-cloud-init#cloud-init-overview) for cloud-init ready images.
To enable cloud-init on a Linux image, follow U(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/cloudinit-prepare-custom-image).
data_disks	list			Describes list of data disks.
Use M(azure.azcollection.azure_rm_manageddisk) to manage the specific disk.
disable_instance_discovery	bool		`false`	Determines whether or not instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate. Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to True, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy.
Set via credential file profile or the C(AZURE_DISABLE_INSTANCE_DISCOVERY) environment variable.
ephemeral_os_disk	bool			Parameters of ephemeral disk settings that can be specified for operating system disk.
Ephemeral OS disk is only supported for VMS Instances using Managed Disk.
If the VM gets deleted, the ephemeral OS disk will be deleted and cannot be detached.
