terraform-provider-scaffolding VS terraform-provider-azurerm

That's the list of files we will start with. Typically you would follow folder structure as in the scaffolding repo,, placing Go files inside the internal/provider folder and Terraform files inside the examples folder. But let us first understand how it all works together before imposing this structure.

Go through the language tutorials for a bit to get the hang of it. Especially take a look at examples for the HTTP library. And then move on to the Terraform provider tutorials :) Hashicorp has a great starter template for Providers available here: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-scaffolding

Take a look at hashicorp/terraform-provider-scaffolding: Quick start repository for creating a Terraform provider it can really help you get started.

So this is doing my head in. Related to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/6117

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.

Yeah we imported all the related resources. I could now find an issue, which exactly describes our problem. Unfortunately it is open since 2020: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/8794

Like other people said, use the azurerm provider docs, they're pretty good. But that's where knowing Azure comes in handy because you'll have to figure out what TF resource to use to accomplish a given goal.

It’s not difficult at all syntactically. But you must understand the provider you are automating. So your azure knowledge is key in this case. Read the Azure provider docs and you will be easily able to put something together. https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs
