- name: Create Azure VM using default samples
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  tasks:
    - name: Create VM with defaults
      azure_rm_virtualmachine:
        resource_group: Testing
        name: testvm10
        admin_username: chouseknecht
        admin_password: <your password here>
        image:
          offer: CentOS
          publisher: OpenLogic
          sku: '7.1'
          version: latest

Now, Ansible will complain that resource group Testing is not present, so I add resource group from here https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/azure_rm_resourcegroup_module.html:
