Synopsis

Get facts for a virtual machine scale set

Requirements

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

python >= 2.7
azure >= 2.0.0

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
ad_user -		Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url - added in 2.6	Default: null	Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
api_profile - added in 2.5	Default: "latest"	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.
auth_source - added in 2.5	auto cli credential_file env msi	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. If not specified, ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE environment variable will be used and default to `auto` if variable is not defined. `auto` will follow the default precedence of module parameters -> environment variables -> default profile in credential file `~/.azure/credentials`. When set to `cli`, the credentials will be sources from the default Azure CLI profile. Can also be set via the `ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE` environment variable. 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.
cert_validation_mode - added in 2.5	validate ignore	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.
client_id -		Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment - added in 2.4	Default: "AzureCloud"	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.
format - added in 2.6	curated raw ←	Format of the data returned. If `raw` is selected information will be returned in raw format from Azure Python SDK. If `curated` is selected the structure will be identical to input parameters of azure_rm_virtualmachine_scaleset module. In Ansible 2.5 and lower facts are always returned in raw format. Please note that this option will be deprecated in 2.10 when curated format will become the only supported format.
name -		Limit results to a specific virtual machine scale set
password -		Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile -		Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
resource_group -		The resource group to search for the desired virtual machine scale set
secret -		Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
subscription_id -		Your Azure subscription Id.
tags -		List of tags to be matched
tenant -		Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.

Notes

Note

For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables or use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials. Authentication is 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.
