Synopsis

Manage Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) extensions

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
ad_user	string			Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url	string			Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
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.
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.
auto_upgrade_minor_version	bool			Whether the extension handler should be automatically upgraded across minor versions.
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.
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.
location	string			Valid Azure location. Defaults to location of the resource group.
log_mode	string			Parent argument.
log_path	string			Parent argument.
name	string	yes		Name of the VMSS extension.
oidc_token	string			Direct OpenID Connect (OIDC) token (JWT) used for workload identity authentication.
This token is exchanged with Azure AD using OIDC federated identity.
Useful in CI systems (for example GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) where an OIDC token is provided directly by the platform.
Can also be set via the C(AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN) environment variable.
oidc_token_file_path	string			Path to a file containing an OpenID Connect (OIDC) token (JWT) used for workload identity authentication.
The file must contain only raw token.
This method is commonly used in platforms that materialize OIDC tokens as files
Can also be set via the C(AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE) environment variable.
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.
protected_settings	dict			A dictionary containing protected extension settings.
Settings depend on extension type.
Refer to U(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/overview) for more information.
publisher	string			The name of the extension handler publisher.
resource_group	string	yes		Name of a resource group where the VMSS extension exists or will be created.
secret	string			Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
settings	dict			A dictionary containing extension settings.
Settings depend on extension type.
Refer to U(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/overview) for more information.
state	string		`present`	Assert the state of the extension.
Use C(present) to create or update an extension and C(absent) to delete it.
subscription_id	string			Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant	string			Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
thumbprint	string			The thumbprint of the private key specified in I(x509_certificate_path).
Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
Required if I(x509_certificate_path) is defined.
type	string			The type of the extension handler.
type_handler_version	string			The type version of the extension handler.
vmss_name	string	yes		The name of the virtual machine where the extension should be create or updated.
x509_certificate_path	string			Path to the X509 certificate used to create the service principal in PEM format.
The certificate must be appended to the private key.
Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
