ansible - unable to create Azure network security group

Question

I though I correctly followed this YAML tutorial (for formatting a YAML file) and this ansible example from official ansible document to create an Azure Network Security Group using following ansible playbook. But when I run the playbook in Azure Cloud Shell, I get the error shown below:

Create_network_security_group.yaml:

---
- hosts: localhost

  tasks:
  - azure_rm_securitygroup:
      resource_group: rg-cs-ansible
      name: nsg-cs-web
      rules:

            protocol: TCP
            destination_port_range: 3389
            access: Allow
            priority: 1001
            direction: Inbound

            destination_port_range:

              - 5986

Error:

[localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "value of protocol must be one of: Udp, Tcp, *, got: TCP found in rules"}

Answer 1

Based on official and "latest" documentation at this URL. Notice the example, the case of the protocol is "Tcp", not "TCP"

Also, the error message you shared is also suggesting to use Tcp, Udp, * as the possible inputs and it got TCP.

[localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "value of protocol must be one of: Udp, Tcp, *, got: TCP found in rules"}
