Using Ansible to deploy VMs to Azure using the azure\_rm\_deployment module. The deployment in Azure works but I get the following errors back in Ansible

The Ansible role that is failing is as follows:

- name: Create a unique string to be used as a Azure deployment id

shell: echo “`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`-$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd [:alpha:] | tr ‘[:upper:]’ ‘[:lower:]’ | head -c 8)”

register: deployment\_id

- name: Execute Azure Deployment

azure\_rm\_deployment:

ad\_user: “{{ authprofile[inventory\_target].azure\_ad\_user }}”

password: “{{ authprofile[inventory\_target].azure\_password }}”

subscription\_id: “{{ authprofile[inventory\_target].azure\_subscription\_id }}”

state: present

deployment\_mode: incremental

deployment\_name: “{{ deployment\_id.stdout }}”

location: “{{ location }}”

resource\_group\_name: “{{ resourcegroupname }}”

template: “{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘{{ template\_file\_name }}’) }}”

parameters:

“{{ ARMtemplateprofile[ARM\_profile] }}”

register: azureout"

My Ansible version is …

ansible --version  
ansible 2.5.5  
config file = None  
configured module search path = [u’/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]

executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.14 (default, Feb 22 2018, 22:26:54) [GCC 5.3.0]

Given the error message, “Cannot use api-version and profile parameters at the same time”, my guess its there is something unexpected about the contents of your

`parameters: "{{ ARMtemplateprofile[ARM_profile] }}"`

I suggest maybe using `debug` module on that to make sure it contains what you expect. Add a task in to your playbook something like this:

`

- name: show profile  
debug:  
var: “{{ ARMtemplateprofile[ARM\_profile] }}”

`

Hope this helps,
