Hi,

I am trying to get Ansible to deploy resources to the Azure cloud and I am having an getting it to work. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04

I have installed ansible by running the following:

```auto
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ansible

```

```auto
I also installed pip by running the command

```

```auto
sudo easy_install pip

```

```auto
and that all that was done to get ansible install on the server. I then started with tha Azure components for Ansible by following the instructions on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/guide_azure.html.

```

```auto
I ran the command sudo pip install "azure==2.0.0rc5" to get the Azure Python SDK

```

```auto
I then created a simple yaml file to create a resource group and when I ran the playbook by running the command ansible-playbook test.yml -vvv the following error was returned

```
