Description

Create, update and delete blob containers and blob objects.

Use to upload a file and store it as a blob object, or download a blob object to a file(upload and download mode)

Use to upload a batch of files under a given directory(batch upload mode)

In the batch upload mode, the existing blob object will be overwritten if a blob object with the same name is to be created.

the module can work exclusively in three modes, when C(batch_upload_src) is set, it is working in batch upload mode; when C(src) is set, it is working in upload mode and when C(dst) is set, it is working in dowload mode.

    type: path

tags:
    description:
    - Dictionary of string:string pairs to assign as metadata to the object.
    - Metadata tags on the object will be updated with any provided values.
    - To remove tags set append_tags option to false.
    - Currently, Azure DNS zones and Traffic Manager services also don't allow the use
      of spaces in the tag.

    type: dict

force:
    default: false
    description:
    - Overwrite existing blob or file when uploading or downloading. Force deletion of
      a container that contains blobs.
    type: bool

state:
    choices:
    - absent
    - present
    default: present
    description:
    - State of a container or blob.
    - Use state C(absent) with a container value only to delete a container. Include a
      blob value to remove a specific blob. A container will not be deleted, if it contains
      blobs. Use the I(force) option to override, deleting the container and all associated
      blobs.
    - Use state C(present) to create or update a container and upload or download a blob.

      with configuration options. Provide a blob name and either src or dest to upload
      or download. Provide a src path to upload and a dest path to download. If a blob
      (uploading) or a file (downloading) already exists, it will not be overwritten unless
      I(force=true).

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.
