module: azure_rm_virtualmachine

version_added: "2.1"

short_description: Manage Azure virtual machines.

description:
    - Create, update, stop and start a virtual machine. Provide an existing storage account and network interface or
      allow the module to create these for you. If you choose not to provide a network interface, the resource group
      must contain a virtual network with at least one subnet.
    - Currently requires an image found in the Azure Marketplace. Use azure_rm_virtualmachineimage_facts module
      to discover the publisher, offer, sku and version of a particular image.
