azure_rm_keyvaultsecret - Recover before update

[nioertel]

SUMMARY

Currently the following fails if the secret already exists but is in deleted (recoverable) state:

- name: Create a secret
  azure_rm_keyvaultsecret:
    secret_name: MySecret
    secret_value: My_Pass_Sec
    keyvault_uri: https://contoso.vault.azure.net/

It would be nice if this state is handled by the Ansible module (either automagically or optionally with an additional parameter recover_if_needed).

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

azure_rm_keyvaultsecret

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In our setup sometimes manual interactions happen with Key Vault. If someone deletes a secret that is set via Ansible, our scripts fail in the next run with KeyVaultErrorException: (Conflict) Secret ... is currently in a deleted but recoverable state.

I am happy to prepare a PR if this is a feature that you'd like to support.

I couldn't find time yet to work on this.

I still believe the feature is very important and would like to keep the issue open. If anyone else can/wants to pick it up in the meantime, that would be great.
Otherwise I'd give an update once I find time to work on it.
