Affected Resource(s)/Data Source(s)

azurerm_virtual_machine

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "elk" {
  location              = module.rg.groups.elk.location
  name                  = var.config.vm.elk.name

    managed_disk_type = "Premium_LRS"

}

Debug Output/Panic Output

N/A

Expected Behaviour

No changes being reported. Although additional_capabilities and os_profile_linux_config can be worked around by adding these to my config, I am not sure how to work around os_profile.

Actual Behaviour

Terraform plan reports the following unexpected changes:

# module.Infrastructure.azurerm_virtual_machine.elk will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "elk" {
        id                               = "/subscriptions/redacted/resourceGroups/rg-elk-dev/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vm-elk-dev-trbd"
        name                             = "vm-elk-dev-trbd"
        tags                             = {}
        # (7 unchanged attributes hidden)

      - additional_capabilities {}

      - os_profile {
          # At least one attribute in this block is (or was) sensitive,
          # so its contents will not be displayed.
        }

      - os_profile_linux_config {
          - disable_password_authentication = false -> null
        }

        # (4 unchanged blocks hidden)
    }

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a vm through clickops
2. import it into terraform
3. run apply

@rcskosir I got triggered by the tag added to ask this side question; do you know why azurerm_virtual_machine has been marked deprecated whereas not all features have been ported yet to its successors azurerm_linux_virtual_machine and azurerm_windows_virtual_machine?
