auth_source

string

added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1

Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication.

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.

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.

Choices:

• "ignore"
• "validate"

client_id

string

disable_instance_discovery

boolean

added in azure.azcollection 2.3.0

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 AZURE_DISABLE_INSTANCE_DISCOVERY environment variable.

Choices:

• false ← (default)
• true

force

boolean

Overwrite existing blob or file when uploading or downloading. Force deletion of a container that contains blobs.

• "Hot"

state

string

State of a container or blob.

Use state absent with a container value only to delete a container. Include a blob value to remove a specific blob. A container will not be deleted, if it contains blobs. Use the force option to override, deleting the container and all associated blobs.

Use state present to create or update a container and upload or download a blob. If the container does not exist, it will be created. If it exists, it will be updated with configuration options. Provide a blob name and either src or dest to upload or download. Provide a src path to upload and a dest path to download. If a blob (uploading) or a file (downloading) already exists, it will not be overwritten unless force=true.
