Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Expected Behavior

Terraform should:

1. display the changes it needs to make to "os_profile" in the plan
2. not attempt to change the "os_profile" when it is included in "ignore_changes"

Actual Behavior

If there is any other change to the vm resource (e.g. tags) Terraform attempts to change this field AND change "os_profile" - which it cannot do so the apply fails.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Removing the "os_profile" and "os_profile_linux_config" properties from my terraform file results in the same error.

hi @evoio

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 recently opened #5550 which adds support for the new Virtual Machine resources - and I'm able to confirm that this is fixed in the new Virtual Machine resources - however unfortunately we have no plans to backport this to the existing azurerm_virtual_machine resource.

In order to get feedback on these new resources we'll be launching support for these new resources as an opt-in Beta in an upcoming 1.x release of the Azure Provider and ultimately release these as "GA" in the upcoming 2.0 release. We'll post an update in #2807 when both the opt-in Beta (1.x) & GA (2.0) are available - as such I'd recommend 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!

This has been released in version 2.0.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.0.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
