terraform-provider-azuread VS neovim

There are different Terraform Providers that enable Terraform to interact with Microsoft Azure. The most common one are Azure Stack, AzureDevops, AzureRM, AzAPI and AzureAD.. In this tutorial, we use the AzureRM Terraform Provider. Let's create a Terraform file for the AzureRM Terraform Provider.

It can be for anything. Here is the provider for Azure Active Directory. It looks like it has over a million downloads this week alone so someone is using it..

Since the provider doesnt currently support licensing on [users directly](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azuread/issues/745) i think the only other option is to create a group that maintains specific licenses for user-members... however, that seems to be pay-walled behind Business Premium or azure ad p1

Not officially supported yet: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azuread/issues/68

The support for privileged identity management in Terraform is very limited. One open issue that tracks it is https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azuread/issues/547

I haven't particularly worked with this, but if you're looking for things to see before doing, I would recommend looking at the examples provided by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/terraform/ and read through the provider documentation to see the individual pieces: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azuread/latest/docs

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
