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.
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.
enabled boolean			Choices: no yes ←	Specifies whether automatic scaling is enabled for the resource.
location string				location of the resource.
log_mode string				Parent argument.
log_path string				Parent argument.
name string / required				name of the resource.
notifications string				The collection of notifications.
	custom_emails string			The custom e-mails list. This value can be null or empty, in which case this attribute will be ignored.
	send_to_subscription_administrator boolean		Choices: no ← yes	A value indicating whether to send email to subscription administrator.
	send_to_subscription_co_administrators boolean		Choices: no ← yes	A value indicating whether to send email to subscription co-administrators.
	webhooks string			The list of webhook notifications service uri.
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.
profiles string				The collection of automatic scaling profiles that specify different scaling parameters for different time periods. A maximum of 20 profiles can be specified.
	count string / required			The number of instances that will be set if metrics are not available for evaluation. The default is only used if the current instance count is lower than the default.
	fixed_date_end string			The specific date-time end for the profile. This element is not used if the Recurrence element is used.
	fixed_date_start string			The specific date-time start for the profile. This element is not used if the Recurrence element is used.
	fixed_date_timezone string			The specific date-time timezone for the profile. This element is not used if the Recurrence element is used.
	max_count string			The maximum number of instances for the resource. The actual maximum number of instances is limited by the cores that are available in the subscription.
	min_count string			The minimum number of instances for the resource.
	name string / required			The name of the profile.
	recurrence_days string			The days of repeating times at which this profile begins. This element is not used if the FixedDate element is used.
	recurrence_frequency string		Choices: None ← Second Minute Hour Day Week Month Year	How often the schedule profile should take effect. If this value is `Week`, meaning each week will have the same set of profiles. This element is not used if the FixedDate element is used.
	recurrence_hours string			The hours of repeating times at which this profile begins. This element is not used if the FixedDate element is used.
	recurrence_mins string			The mins of repeating times at which this profile begins. This element is not used if the FixedDate element is used.
	recurrence_timezone string			The timezone of repeating times at which this profile begins. This element is not used if the FixedDate element is used.
	rules string			The collection of rules that provide the triggers and parameters for the scaling action. A maximum of 10 rules can be specified.
		cooldown string		The amount of time (minutes) to wait since the last scaling action before this action occurs. It must be between 1 ~ 10080.
		direction string	Choices: Increase Decrease	Whether the scaling action increases or decreases the number of instances.
		metric_name string / required		The name of the metric that defines what the rule monitors.
		metric_resource_uri string		The resource identifier of the resource the rule monitors.
		operator string	Choices: Equals NotEquals GreaterThan ← GreaterThanOrEqual LessThan LessThanOrEqual	The operator that is used to compare the metric data and the threshold.
		statistic string	Choices: Average ← Min Max Sum	How the metrics from multiple instances are combined.
		threshold string	Default: 70	The threshold of the metric that triggers the scale action.
		time_aggregation string	Choices: Average ← Minimum Maximum Total Count	How the data that is collected should be combined over time.
		time_grain string / required		The granularity(minutes) of metrics the rule monitors. Must be one of the predefined values returned from metric definitions for the metric. Must be between 1 ~ 720.
		time_window string / required		The range of time(minutes) in which instance data is collected. This value must be greater than the delay in metric collection, which can vary from resource-to-resource. Must be between 5 ~ 720.
		type string	Choices: PercentChangeCount ExactCount ChangeCount	The type of action that should occur when the scale rule fires.
		value string		The number of instances that are involved in the scaling action. This value must be 1 or greater.
resource_group string / required				Resource group of the resource.
secret string				Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state string			Choices: present ← absent	Assert the state of the virtual network. Use `present` to create or update and `absent` to delete.
subscription_id string				Your Azure subscription Id.
tags dictionary				Dictionary of string:string pairs to assign as metadata to the object. Metadata tags on the object will be updated with any provided values. To remove tags set append_tags option to false. Currently, Azure DNS zones and Traffic Manager services also don't allow the use of spaces in the tag. Azure Front Door doesn't support the use of Azure Automation and Azure CDN only support 15 tags on resources.
target string				The identifier of the resource to apply autoscale setting. It could be the resource id string. It also could be a dict contains the `name`, `subscription_id`, `namespace`, `types`, `resource_group` of the resource.
tenant string				Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.

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.
