Get Started: Configure Ansible for Azure Cloud Infrastructure

This is second part of How to install and configure Ansible on Ubuntu, where I will be installing and configuring Microsoft Azure modules to use it with ansible for Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure automation. I have python-pip3 is already installed, The next instructions is to install ansible[azure] packages using pip3 as shown below. 

Microsoft Azure pip3 install ansible[azure] python requirement already satisfied ansible-core jinja2 pyyaml resolvelib markupsafe pyparsing.png

All below prerequisite packages are installed.

root@ansible:~# sudo pip3 install ansible[azure]
Requirement already satisfied: ansible[azure] in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages (5.5.0)
WARNING: ansible 5.5.0 does not provide the extra 'azure'

Next install azure.azcollection module collection set from ansible-galaxy command, it is downloads files under location ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection/.

Microsoft azure ansible galaxy collection install.azcollection sudo pip3 install az collections requirements-azure.txt automation declarative yaml yml.png

From downloaded files use requirements-azure.txt from the above path to install Azure packages using pip3. Here azure module collection for ansible installation will be completed.

Once Az CLI installation completed, use az login command to login to Azure cloud, it will provide a link https//microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the given code to authenticate in the browser. If you have multiple Azure subscription use az account set command to set default subscription.

MIcrosoft azure az login ansible localhost -m azure.azcollection.azure_rm_resourcegroup -a argument subscription tags azure cloud ansible devicelogin enter code localhost.png

Finally to test Ansible Azure I am using ad-hoc ansible command with module azure.azcollection.azure_rm_resourcegroup with arguments name and location to create Resource Group and the result is successful.

root@ansible:~# az login
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code Exxxxxxxx to authenticate.
The following tenants require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Use 'az login --tenant TENANT_ID' to explicitly login to a tenant.
