azure required for this module error

[rsimb...@architech.ca]

Hello,

I am new to ansible and trying to create new VM in Azure with azure module but getting the error:

failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}

failed=True msg='azure required for this module'

Here is the playbook: 

# Provision ubuntu virtual machine example

- hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  tasks:

    - name: install ubuntu  

      azure:

        name: ubuntu-test

        role_size: A2

        image: Ubuntu 15.04

        location: 'East US'

        user: architech

        ssh_cert_path: /Users/someuser/someuser.pem

        storage_account: https://someurl.blob.core.windows.net/vhds

        wait: yes

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Roman.

Looks like to use that module, you need to install a python library called 'azure'.  Looking here http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/azure_module.html, it seems to need to be a version later than 0.7.1

This is probably something you can install using pip / yum / apt-get.

Hope this helps.

I checked and it looks like it is installed

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/core/cloud/azure

Is this the right place I am looking at??

Hi,
You are looking at the ansible module. Usually those modules also need a python library.

Ok, I run ansible-doc -l and it shows that azure is installed.

Hi,

I think you need to look at this:

* ansible azure module
* azure Python library

The former requires the latter to work.

But both can be _installed_ separately. That doesn't mean anyone is useful to you without the other. Check your distribution docs for how to install packages. Or if it's not packaged try to read up on "Python pip".

HTH,
Martin

I got it now. 

Once I ran pip install azure, it worked. 

Thank you.
