azure_rm_storageaccount | Always already taken. - Reason.already_exists

[mvdpoel]

Hi,

Trying to run this module but it's not idempotent. It keeps returning:

"The storage account named xxx is already taken. - Reason.already_exists"

• name: Ensure Storage Account Exists azure_rm_storageaccount: resource_group: "{{ app_resourcegroup }}" name: "{{ staname }}" type: "{{ sta.type }}" tags: "{{ azure_tags }}" state: "present"

Returns:

TASK [az_create_storage_account : Ensure Storage Account Exists] ***** task path: /opt/ansible/roles/ansible_role_az_create_storage_account/tasks/main.yml:2 fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The storage account named xxx is already taken. - Reason.already_exists"}

@mvdpoel I have try to create storage account to verify idempotent on ansbile(2.6.0 and 2.6.3) all get successfully result, could you share your ansible verison and upgrade ansible to try again( Upgrade ansible to new: sudo pip install ansible[azure] --upgrade -I ). Thanks!

my test result:
fred@fred-Virtual-Machine:~/task/125$ ansible-playbook  125.yml

@mvdpoel Do you have try again? Could you help share your test result? Thanks!

[Fred-sun]

@mvdpoel Thanks for the contribution, It seem not a bug, just name already exist or use old ansible version. Could you help share you test result or some detail info?

[Fred-sun]

@mvdpoel Thanks for the contribution, Could you help recheck this issue? it seem not a bug, just the storage account name has already exist. Thanks!

@Fred-sun Have you ever verified the preview role?

[Fred-sun]

@mvdpoel Thanks for the contribution. I have retested again. this module has idempotent. if the storage account has exist, will get this error. I think your account name may has been created by other credential or this account name has existed on other resource group. Thanks!.

To anybody arriving here via Google, looking for an answer: As the documentation states, storage account names have to be unique across all of Azure. There are most likely more elegant ways to solve this, but here's what I did: azure_k8s_cluster_sa_name: "{{ 'mystorage' | to_uuid | lower | replace('-', '') | truncate(24, True, '') }}"

obviously you need to change 'mystorage' to something else or it will fail, too.
