  • Create, update and delete blob containers and blob objects. Use to upload a file and store it as a blob object, or download a blob object to a file.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.7
  • azure >= 2.0.0

Options

parameter required default choices comments
ad_user
no
Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.

Use to control if tags field is canonical or just appends to existing tags. When canonical, any tags not found in the tags parameter will be removed from the object's metadata.
blob
no
Name of a blob object within the container.
aliases: blob_name
cache_control

client_id
no
Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment
no AzureCloud
For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, AzureChinaCloud, AzureUSGovernment), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT environment variable.
container
yes
Name of a blob container within the storage account.
aliases: container_name
content_disposition
no
Set the blob content-disposition header.
content_encoding
no

content_md5
no

content_type
no
Set the blob content-type header. For example, 'image/png'.
dest
no
Destination file path. Use with state 'present' to download a blob.
aliases: destination
force
no
Overwrite existing blob or file when uploading or downloading. Force deletion of a container that contains blobs.
password
no
Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile
no
Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
public_access
no
  • container
  • blob
Determine a container's level of public access. By default containers are private. Can only be set at time of container creation.
resource_group
yes
Name of the resource group to use.
aliases: resource_group_name
secret
no
Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
src
no
Source file path. Use with state 'present' to upload a blob.
aliases: source
state
no present
  • absent
  • present
Assert the state of a container or blob.
Use state 'absent' with a container value only to delete a container. Include a blob value to remove a specific blob. A container will not be deleted, if it contains blobs. Use the force option to override, deleting the container and all associated blobs.
Use state 'present' to create or update a container and upload or download a blob. If the container does not exist, it will be created. If it exists, it will be updated with configuration options. Provide a blob name and either src or dest to upload or download. Provide a src path to upload and a dest path to download. If a blob (uploading) or a file (downloading) already exists, it will not be overwritten unless the force parameter is true.
storage_account_name
yes
Name of the storage account to use.
aliases: account_name, storage_account
subscription_id
no
Your Azure subscription Id.
tags
no
Dictionary of string:string pairs to assign as metadata to the object. Metadata tags on the object will be updated with any provided values. To remove tags set append_tags option to false.
tenant
no
Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.

Notes

Note

  • For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables or use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials. Authentication is possible using a service principal or Active Directory user. To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
  • To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
  • Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
