- name: Upload file to Azure Blob  
hosts: localhost

azure.azcollection.azure\_rm\_storageblob:  
subscription\_id: “{{ lookup(‘env’, ‘azure\_subscription\_id’) }}”  
client\_id: “{{ lookup(‘env’, ‘azure\_client\_id’) }}”  
secret: “{{ lookup(‘env’, ‘azure\_secret’) }}”  
tenant: “{{ lookup(‘env’, ‘azure\_tenant’) }}”  
storage\_account\_name: “nonprodsre}”  
resource\_group: “rgsremgmtdev”  
container: “autotron-action”  
blob: “fsdfsfsfd”  
src: “./test.yml”  
state: present  
and exported export azure\_tenant=“xxxx”  
export azure\_subscription\_id=“xxxxxx”  
export azure\_client\_id=“xxxxxxx”
