Ansible module and version matrix
Ansible includes a suite of modules for use in provisioning and configuring Azure resources. These resources include virtual machines, scale sets, networking services, and container services. This article lists the various Ansible modules for Azure and the Ansible versions in which they ship.
Ansible modules for Azure
The following modules can be executed directly on remote hosts or through playbooks.
These modules are available from the Ansible official release and from the following Microsoft Azure Collection.
Note
From Ansible 2.9 onwards, we renamed all *_facts modules to *_info to adhere to Ansible naming convention. The old and renamed modules are linked so apart from seeing a deprecation warning, all modules work as before.
