azurerm fails on updates, need to destroy all infrastructure every time I change something.

This issue was originally opened by @noam87 as hashicorp/terraform#6735. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

Hi, this config file was giving this error (and debug shown below):

Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* azurerm_virtual_machine.core-build: Error waiting for Virtual Machine (cbvm) to become available: unexpected state 'Failed', wanted target '[Succeeded]'

1. I got it to work by destroying then applying again.
2. Next, I uncommented the "remote-exec" provisioner seen below, however I got all green with 0 changed.
3. Finally, I destroyed and applyed again, and it worked.

The error always happens on the create stage. The VM that changed is destroyed successfully (it seems), but when it tries to recreate it, I'll get the error.

So there's something going on when applying updates where only the vm needs to recreate. So far I've had to destroy everything on every change I make, which is not sustainable for a production environment.
