Trying to build a NIC without creating or using a NSG…this doesn’t seem possible. If we leave the value out it creates one using defaults. We’ve tried using “security\_group\_name: None” also “security\_group: no” and of course leaving it out. None of them work. Does anyone know how to create a NIC without a NSG attached to it? Ansible is at 2.5.1 ---

I’ve never used Azure, but it seems to me that you could probably achieve the same goal by attaching a security group that allows anything in or out. Or allows nothing in or out, depending on what you are trying to achieve. What ARE you trying to achieve? Regards, K. ---

It’s simply not possible. Every NIC has to have an associated NSG.
