This is ansible code example for deploying creating vNET (Virtual Network) on Microsoft Azure cloud. This is working basic ansible yaml/yaml script.
Below example shows how it is deployed using ansible-playbook command from the linux using ansible-playbook command.
Download this script here or it is also available on github.com/janviudapi.

There are two files in the folder.

The first file "vnet_var.yml" in the folder is declared as variables, in this file modify the information related to deployment names for your organization.

--- resource_group: vcloud-lab.com vnet_name: global_vnet_eastus location: eastus vnet_address_prefixes_cidr: 10.10.0.0/16 subnet01_name: prod01-10.10.1.x subnet01_address_prefix: 10.10.1.0/24 |
This is second file vnet.yaml. In general there is no need to modify this file (This example works best), unless until you need to add any additional parameters (If you need additional settings) as mentioned on the ansible azure official kb - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/azure/azcollection/azure_rm_virtualnetwork_module.html. To add additional subnets copy subnet task and change the names accordingly and update variables file.

Once the resources are deployed you can verify Virtual Network configuration on Azure Portal. It looks good. Ansible is idempotent so additional subnets you can add later in the code by modifying variables.
Few of the properties cannot be changed for existing resources. Example vnet name and location.
