AzureStack - azure_rm_virtualmachine - Not accecpting api_profile

[Charles Shaw]

Hi there,

I am working with ansible 2.9 and ansible[azure] modules. These have been successfully installed and configured, as I can create resources within AzureStack.

ansible 2.9.0
  config file = /ansible/azure_stack/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Apr  2 2020, 13:34:55) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)]

However, my playbook fails when it comes to creating a virtual machine. The playbook is able to create vnet, subnet, nsg, public ip, nic all without issue and without specifying api_profile parameter. I am only encountering this with the virtualmachine resource.

I've reviewed the documentation and searched around for examples but I can't find anything pertaining to AzureStack and Ansible.

Task:

- name: Create VM

    azure_rm_virtualmachine:

      resource_group: ansible

      name: "vm-linuxweb-{{ count }}"

      vm_size: Standard_DS1_v2

      admin_username: ansible

      admin_password: "{{ ansible_password }}"

      ssh_password_enabled: true

      network_interfaces: nic-linux

      image:

        offer: centos

        publisher: openlogic

        sku: '7.5'

        version: latest

      api_profile: "2017-03-09-profile"

I've been trying various versions for the api_profile parameter and nothing is working, but it draws out different errors.

Errors:

- api_profile: "latest"

The error was: Message: The resource type 'locations/vmSizes' could not be found in the namespace 'Microsoft.Compute' for api version '2018-06-01'. The supported api-versions are '2015-06-15,2016-03-30,2017-03-30,2017-12-01'

- api_profile: "2017-03-09"

Error retrieving resource group ansible - 'unknown Azure API profile: 2017-03-09'"

- api_profile: "2017-03-09-profile"

The error was: Message: The resource type 'locations/vmSizes' could not be found in the namespace 'Microsoft.Compute' for api version '2018-06-01'. The supported api-versions are '2015-06-15,2016-03-30,2017-03-30,2017-12-01'

I know getting anything to work on AzureStack can be a challenge, but I really hoping I can get this going as Ansible has really helped in other areas.

Thank you,

Charles
