Announcement: Opt-In Beta for the new functionality coming in 2.0

👋🏻

Over the past few months we've been working on the functionality coming in version 2.0 of the Azure Provider (outlined in #2807). We've just released version 1.43 of the Azure Provider which allows you to opt-in to the Beta of these upcoming features, including:

• The new Virtual Machine and 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
• Setting Custom Timeouts on Resources
• Requiring Existing Resources to be Imported

More details on how to opt-into the Beta can be found in the Beta guide - however please note that this is only supported in Version 1.43 of the Azure Provider. You can upgrade to this version by updating your Provider block like so:

provider "azurerm" {
  version = "=1.43.0"
}

and then running terraform init -upgrade which will download this version of the Azure Provider.

Information on how to both opt into the Beta and use these new features can be found in the Beta Guide.

---

We're planning to release Version 2.0 of the Azure Provider in the coming weeks - at which time the features mentioned above will become readily available (e.g. without an opt-in).

If you've tried the Beta and have feedback please open a Github Issue using the special Beta Feedback category and we'll take a look.

Thanks!

Thanks to everybody who tried the beta resources - as we'll be releasing version 2.0 of the Azure Provider later today, I'm going to close this issue for the moment.

Thanks!
