How do I provision Retry patterns in Azure with Ansible?

In this guide, you'll learn how to provision Retry patterns in Azure using Ansible. Retry patterns can be beneficial for handling transient faults in your applications by automatically re-attempting operations that may fail due to temporary conditions.

To implement retry logic in your Ansible playbook for Azure, you can utilize the Ansible `wait_for` module combined with a loop and conditions to create a retry pattern. Below is an example of how to do this.

- name: Provision Azure Resource with Retry Logic hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Create Azure Resource Group azure_rm_resourcegroup: name: myResourceGroup location: eastus register: rg_creation retries: 5 delay: 10 until: rg_creation is succeeded - name: Create Azure Virtual Machine azure_rm_virtualmachine: resource_group: myResourceGroup name: myVM vm_size: Standard_DS1_v2 admin_username: azureuser admin_password: YourPassword123 image: offer: UbuntuServer publisher: Canonical sku: 20.04-LTS version: latest register: vm_creation retries: 5 delay: 15 until: vm_creation is succeeded
