        string
         |

     |

        string

        string
        
       
        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
        
        string
        
       
        added in 2.5
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        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.

  | 
      
        
        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.

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.
