I would like to be able to chip in, but your question is not very clear. Could you post a complete playbook?

I guess you need to set up a virtual network and some storage to associate with your vm first. There’s an example here in the documentation [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/scenario\_guides/guide\_azure.html#creating-individual-components](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/scenario_guides/guide_azure.html#creating-individual-components)

You likely need to get your tennant id, subscription id (azure credentials) set up and made available - have a read of [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/scenario\_guides/guide\_azure.html#providing-credentials-to-azure-modules](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/scenario_guides/guide_azure.html#providing-credentials-to-azure-modules)

Hope this helps,

Jon
