New in version 0.1.0: of azure.azcollection

Synopsis

• Create, update or delete a subnet within a given virtual network.

• Allows setting and updating the address prefix CIDR, which must be valid within the context of the virtual network.

• Use the azure.azcollection.azure_rm_networkinterface module to associate interfaces with the subnet and assign specific IP addresses.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.7

• The host that executes this module must have the azure.azcollection collection installed via galaxy

• All python packages listed in collection’s requirements-azure.txt must be installed via pip on the host that executes modules from azure.azcollection

• Full installation instructions may be found https://galaxy.ansible.com/azure/azcollection

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
ad_user string	Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
address_prefix_cidr aliases: address_prefix string	CIDR defining the IPv4 address space of the subnet. Must be valid within the context of the virtual network.
address_prefixes_cidr aliases: address_prefixes list / elements=string added in 1.0.0 of azure.azcollection	CIDR defining the IPv4 and IPv6 address space of the subnet. Must be valid within the context of the virtual network. If set address_prefix, It will not set.
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	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”
delegations list / elements=string	An array of delegations.
actions list / elements=string	A list of actions.
name string / required	The name of delegation.

log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.
name string / required	Name of the subnet.
password string	Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
private_endpoint_network_policies string	Enabled or Disabled apply network policies on private endpoints in the subnet. Choices: Enabled ← (default) Disabled
private_link_service_network_policies string	Enabled or Disabled apply network policies on private link service in the subnet. Choices: Enabled ← (default) Disabled
profile string	Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
resource_group string / required	Name of resource group.
route_table string	The reference of the RouteTable resource. Can be the name or resource ID of the route table. Can be a dict containing the name and resource_group of the route table. Without this configuration, the associated route table will be dissociate. If there is no associated route table, it has no impact.
secret string	Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
security_group aliases: security_group_name string	Existing security group with which to associate the subnet. It can be the security group name which is in the same resource group. Can be the resource ID of the security group. Can be a dict containing the name and resource_group of the security group.
service_endpoints list / elements=string	An array of service endpoints.
locations list / elements=string	A list of locations.
service string / required	The type of the endpoint service.
state string	Assert the state of the subnet. Use present to create or update a subnet and use absent to delete a subnet. Choices: absent present ← (default)
subscription_id string	Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string	Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
virtual_network_name aliases: virtual_network string / required	Name of an existing virtual network with which the subnet is or will be associated.

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.
