Create Azure VM using Ansible - With Extension

Extensions are similar to user data from AWS EC2 instances on Azure VM.
Below is an example of creating a virtual machine on Azure using Ansible.
Apart from creating a VM, it also demos creating an Extension, I am using a Custom Script as an extension so I can perform the Cloudera Director installation on the VM.

It can be used to run any shell script on the machine.

This play has below steps:

1. Create a public IP
2. Create a NIC
3. Create a Virtual Machine
4. Create an Extension

Below is the playbook for deleting the Azure virtual machine.

It has below plays:

1. Deleting the extension
2. Kill VM
3. Delete the NIC
4. Delete the Public IP
