azure_rm_networkinterface – Manage Azure network interfaces¶
Synopsis¶
Create, update or delete a network interface.
When creating a network interface you must provide the name of an existing virtual network, the name of an existing subnet within the virtual network.
A default security group and public IP address will be created automatically.
Or you can provide the name of an existing security group and public IP address.
See the examples below for more details.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
python >= 2.7
azure >= 2.0.0
Parameters¶
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.
