Synopsis ¶

Creates, deletes, and updates DNS records sets and records within an existing Azure DNS Zone.

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: None	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.
append_tags bool		Choices: no yes ←	Use to control if tags field is canonical or just appends to existing tags. When canonical, any tags not found in the tags parameter will be removed from the object's metadata.
auth_source (added in 2.5)		Choices: 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)		Choices: 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.
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.
record_mode		Choices: append purge ←	whether existing record values not sent to the module should be purged
record_type required		Choices: A AAAA CNAME MX NS SRV TXT PTR	the type of record set to create or delete
records			list of records to be created depending on the type of record (set)
	priority		used for creating an SRV record set/records
	entry		primary data value for all record types.
	preference		used for creating an MX record set/records
	weight		used for creating an SRV record set/records
	port		used for creating an SRV record set/records
relative_name required			relative name of the record set
resource_group required			name of resource group
secret			Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state		Choices: absent present ←	Assert the state of the record set. Use `present` to create or update and `absent` to delete.
subscription_id			Your Azure subscription Id.
tags			Dictionary of string:string pairs to assign as metadata to the object. Metadata tags on the object will be updated with any provided values. To remove tags set append_tags option to false.
tenant			Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
time_to_live		Default: 3600	time to live of the record set in seconds
zone_name required			name of the existing DNS zone in which to manage the record set

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.
