hi @Supermathie

We're currently working on version 2.0 of the Azure Provider which we previously announced in #2807.

As a part of this we're introducing five new resources which will supersede the existing azurerm_virtual_machine and azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set resources:

• azurerm_linux_virtual_machine
• azurerm_linux_virtual_machine_scale_set
• azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set_extension
• azurerm_windows_virtual_machine
• azurerm_windows_virtual_machine_scale_set

We've recently opened the PR for the first of these new resources #4518 - and I'm able to confirm that this bug is now fixed in the new Virtual Machine Scale Set resource - however unfortunately we have no plans to backport this to the existing azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set resource.

We've posted an update in #2807 with more information on this (we plan to release the new Virtual Machine / Virtual Machine Scale Set resources in a Beta form in a future 1.x version of the Azure Provider and subsequently release them as "GA" in 2.0) - but as we plan to post additional status updates for 2.0 in #2807 I'd suggest subscribing to that issue for updates.

This issue's been assigned to the milestone "2.0" since this is where this will ship - however (due to the way that closing Github Issues from PR's works, to be able to track this back for future users) this issue will be closed once the first of the new resources have been merged.

Thanks!
