disable_instance_discovery:
    default: false
    description:
    - Determines whether or not instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate.
      Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority
      validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata
      endpoint cannot be reached such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process
      of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/
      to validate the authority. By setting this to **True**, the validation of the authority
      is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority
      host is valid and trustworthy.
    - Set via credential file profile or the C(AZURE_DISABLE_INSTANCE_DISCOVERY) environment
      variable.
