I installed azure as required even with:

pip install azure --upgrade

and got 2.0.0 not even the RC. So on this side seems ok. Tested on 2 different servers.

My azure inventory subscription ID is ok and works fine with terraform.

My playbook mimic the doc found here:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/azure\_rm\_resourcegroup\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/azure_rm_resourcegroup_module.html)

Hi, Seems something is wrong with python/ansible… For Azure you need python 2.7 as written in documentation What distribution did you use ? How did you install python ? How did you install pip ? Regards, JYL

Hi,

Python 2.7 on centos.

Installed Ansible from epel & have 2.3.0 and installed azur using pip install azur --upgrade. The stack looks ok but this is messy over azurRM modules.

Ansible AzurRM module will only work with 2.0.0RC5 otherwise it will blow out. Seem there is a back check that don’t detect well that 2.0.0 is the release and it should work.

Hi,

Please provide more information so we can help !

Which version of CentOS ?  
How did you install python 2.7 ?  
How did you install pip ?  
Can you do python --version ?  
Can you do pip --version ?

Regards,

JYL

Hi,

Used: centos 7.3

Python 2.7 ( latest package)  
yum install ansible -y

from epel repo.

Pip default version from Repo. I think 8.2 ( destroyed the VM).

But as you see.my previous reply azure\_rm modules are tied with python package azure 2.0.0rc5 & wont work with 2.0.0rc6 or 2.0.0 I think there is a hard coded limit check in the module.
