Errors:

E1:

If you get error like that:

TASK [Gathering Facts] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {}, "changed": false, "failed_modules": {"ansible.legacy.setup": {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"}, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "sudo: a password is required\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}}, "msg": "The following modules failed to execute: ansible.legacy.setup\n"}

then issue this command: ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python.

Setup azure

sudo apt install azure-cli

python3 -m venv ~/.venv-azure

source ~/.venv-azure/bin/activate

ansible-galaxy collection install azure.azcollection

pip3 install "ansible[azure]" (in venv preferably)

Then go to Azure website and generate a new resource group. Try to generate az command for that

Then execute command:

az ad sp create-for-rbac --name <some_random_name>  \
                         --role Contributor \
                         --scopes /subscriptions/<subscription-ID>/resourceGroups/<resource-group-name>

to get the password. Other stuff can be fethced with az account list.

Now write these creds into file: $HOME/.azure/credentials

like so:

[default]
subscription_id= (when you create group)
client_id= (appId in az ad)
secret= (az ad sp password)
tenant= (tennantId in both)

Clear all pip packages

pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -y
