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 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
allow_forwarded_traffic boolean	Allows forwarded traffic from the VMs in the remote VNet. Choices: no ← (default) yes
allow_gateway_transit boolean	Allows VNet to use the remote VNet’s gateway. Remote VNet gateway must have –allow-gateway-transit enabled for remote peering. Only 1 peering can have this flag enabled. Cannot be set if the VNet already has a gateway. Choices: no ← (default) yes
allow_virtual_network_access boolean	Allows VMs in the remote VNet to access all VMs in the local VNet. Choices: no ← (default) yes
api_profile string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	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”
auth_source string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	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
cert_validation_mode string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	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.
cloud_environment string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	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”
log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.
name string / required	Name of the virtual network peering.
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.
remote_virtual_network string	Remote virtual network to be peered. It can be name of remote virtual network in same resource group. It can be remote virtual network resource ID. It can be a dict which contains name and resource_group of remote virtual network. Required when creating.
resource_group string / required	Name of a resource group where the vnet exists.
secret string	Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state string	State of the virtual network peering. Use present to create or update a peering and absent to delete it. Choices: absent present ← (default)
subscription_id string	Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string	Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
use_remote_gateways boolean	If remote gateways can be used on this virtual network. Choices: no ← (default) yes
virtual_network string / required	Name or resource ID of the virtual network to be peered.

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.
