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.
allow_hub_to_remote_vnet_transit boolean	VirtualHub to RemoteVnet transit to enabled or not. Choices: false true
allow_remote_vnet_to_use_hub_vnet_gateways boolean	Allow RemoteVnet to use Virtual Hub’s gateways. Choices: false true
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"
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"
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"
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
enable_internet_security boolean	Enable internet security. Choices: false true
log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.
name string / required	The name of the VirtualHub connection.
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 dictionary	ID of the remote VNet to connect to.
id string	The remote virtual network ID.
resource_group string / required	The resource group name of the VirtualHub.
routing_configuration dictionary	The Routing Configuration indicating the associated and propagated route tables on this connection.
propagated_route_tables dictionary	The list of RouteTables to advertise the routes to.
ids list / elements=dictionary	-The list of resource ids of all the virtual hub RouteTables.
id string	The ID of the RouteTables.
labels list / elements=string	The list of labels.
vnet_routes dictionary	List of routes that control routing from VirtualHub into a virtual network connection.
static_routes list / elements=dictionary	List of all Static Routes.
address_prefixes list / elements=string	List of all address prefixes.
name string	The name of the StaticRoute that is unique within a VnetRoute.
next_hop_ip_address string	The ip address of the next hop.
secret string	Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state string	Assert the state of the VirtualHub connection. Use present to create or update an VirtualHub connection 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.
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.
vhub_name string / required	The VirtualHub name.
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.
