Is there any Ansible module to create a folder on Azure file share?

[cloudengineers]

Hi All,

Is there any Ansible module to create a folder on Azure file share? including sub directories, Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Please Note:
Currently I am using shell Module to create a folder, but I want to avoid shell module, as it’s require azure cli to execute the commands

Example:

• name: creating test folder on Azure file Storage
  shell: az storage share create --account-name xxxx --account-key xxxxx --name testing --quota 5 --output none

fixes by #603

This issues was not fixed by #603 because that module only allows creating the file share, not actual directories in it.

However, I think the original example in this issue does not actually create directories in the file share, just the file share itself, so that part can now indeed be done by this collection.

@153957 I will recheck it! Thank you very much!

To create the directories we currently use this command:

- name: Create required directories in file share
  ansible.builtin.command: "az storage directory create --account-name {{ … }} --account-key {{ … }} --share-name {{ … }} --name {{ item }}"
  loop:
    - …
    - …
