Parameters

Parameter	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 azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
administrator_login string	The administrator’s login name of a server. Can only be specified when the server is being created (and is required for creation).
administrator_login_password string	The administrator login password (required for server creation).
api_profile string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	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. Default: "latest"
append_tags boolean	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. Choices: false true ← (default)
auth_source string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	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. Choices: "auto" ← (default) "cli" "credential_file" "env" "msi"
availability_zone string	Availability zone information of the server
backup dictionary	Backup properties of a server.
backup_retention_days integer	Backup retention days for the server.
geo_redundant_backup string	A value indicating whether Geo-Redundant backup is enabled on the server. Choices: "Enabled" "Disabled"
cert_validation_mode string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	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	Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal or Managed Identity (msi). Can also be set via the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable.
cloud_environment string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	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. Default: "AzureCloud"
create_mode string	The mode to create a new PostgreSQL server. Choices: "Default" "Create" "Update" "PointInTimeRestore"
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
fully_qualified_domain_name string	The fully qualified domain name of a server.
high_availability dictionary	High availability properties of a server.
mode string	The HA mode for the server. Choices: "Disabled" "ZoneRedundant"
standby_availability_zone string	Availability zone information of the standby.
identity dictionary added in azure.azcollection 2.4.0	Identity for the Server.
type string	Type of the managed identity Choices: "UserAssigned" "None" ← (default)
user_assigned_identities dictionary	User Assigned Managed Identities and its options Default: {}
append boolean	If the list of identities has to be appended to current identities (true) or if it has to replace current identities (false) Choices: false true ← (default)
id list / elements=string	List of the user assigned identities IDs associated to the VM Default: []
is_restart boolean	Whether to restart the Post gresql server. Choices: false ← (default) true
is_start boolean	Whether to start the Post gresql server. Choices: false ← (default) true
is_stop boolean	Whether to stop the Post gresql server. Choices: false ← (default) true
location string	Resource location. If not set, location from the resource group will be used as default.
log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.

name string / required	The name of the flexible server.
network dictionary	Network properties of a server.
delegated_subnet_resource_id string	Delegated subnet arm resource id.
private_dns_zone_arm_resource_id string	Private dns zone arm resource id.
public_network_access string	Public network access is enabled or not. Choices: "Enabled" "Disabled"
password string	Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
point_in_time_utc string	Restore point creation time (ISO8601 format), specifying the time to restore from. It’s required when create_mode=PointInTimeRestore.
profile string	Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
resource_group string / required	The name of the resource group that contains the resource. You can obtain this value from the Azure Resource Manager API or the portal.

storage dictionary	Storage properties of a server.
storage_size_gb integer	The storage size for the server.
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.
tenant string	Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
thumbprint string added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	The thumbprint of the private key specified in x509_certificate_path. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. Required if x509_certificate_path is defined.
version string	PostgreSQL Server version. Choices: "11" "12" "13" "14" "15" "16"
x509_certificate_path path added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	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.

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.
