Connection isn't configured for provisioners to use inside of azurerm_virtual_machine

[colemickens]

Terraform v0.7.0-rc1 (301da85f30239e87b30db254a25706a6d41c2522)

• azurerm_virtual_machine
• remote_exec

Expected Behavior

It would use the information given during configuration to SetConnInfo so that provisioners can connect automatically.

Actual Behavior

This isn't implemented and so it can't connect and just fails in an infinite loop.

azurerm_virtual_machine.master_vm (remote-exec): Connecting to remote host via SSH...
azurerm_virtual_machine.master_vm (remote-exec):   Host:
azurerm_virtual_machine.master_vm (remote-exec):   User: root

azurerm_virtual_machine.master_vm (remote-exec):   SSH Agent: false

Hi @colemickens

I'm not quite following what the issue is here?

When you give a virtual_machine a username and a password and a static ip then you can connect to it with a remote-exec for provisioning

Is there something different you need?

I was thinking that this, in the google provider lets the file provisioner work without having to manually specify the connection details: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/builtin/providers/google/resource_compute_instance.go#L719

And I was hoping something similar could be done in the Read function for the azurerm_virtual_machine.

Hi @jen20. Is it possible the wrong issue got closed? The NSG/polling issue was #7153 rather than this one.

[stack72]

sorry, my fault! I had the wrong issue in my PR

[josephholsten]

@stack72 is this a thing we should solve with better documentation? seems like the current approach is to

  provisioner "remote-exec" {
    inline = [
      "/tmp/init.sh",
    ]
    connection {
      host = "${azurerm_public_ip.node.ip_address}"
    }
  }

Does that seem correct?

[josephholsten]

well, if #6634 is still an issue then my approach won't work
