Hello,

I was trying to provision an Azure load-balancer with only a private IP address in an existing subnet. I could accomplish this with the below code.

- name: create load balancer azure\_rm\_loadbalancer: resource\_group: “{{resource\_group\_name}}” name: my\_new\_lb frontend\_ip\_configurations: - name: frontendipconf0 private\_ip\_address: private\_ip\_allocation\_method: dynamic subnet: /subscriptions/1234445sdffew11111111/resourceGroups/RG\_NAME/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/vnet-stage/subnets/default backend\_address\_pools: - name: backend\_pool1 probes: - name: prob0 port: 80 load\_balancing\_rules: - name: lbrbalancingrule0 frontend\_ip\_configuration: frontendipconf0 backend\_address\_pool: backend\_pool1 frontend\_port: 8000 backend\_port: 443 probe: prob0

But is there a way we can provision a loadbalancer without providing a complete subnet id in the task file?
