Description

In the previous azurerm_virtual_machine there was the capability to deploy a VM from an existing managed disk. (both a managed disk imported to the state or one that isn't)
However the new resources don't seem to support this. I'm unsure if that is intentional or not?

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_windows_virtual_machine
• azurerm_linux_virtual_machine

Previous Terraform Configuration

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "VM1" {
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
  name                = "VM1"
  delete_os_disk_on_termination = true

  network_interface_ids = [azurerm_network_interface.VM1-nic1.id]
  location              = var.azure-region

  storage_os_disk {
    name = "VM1-restored-osdisk-20210810-132929"
    create_option = "Attach"
    caching = "None"
    os_type = "Windows"
    managed_disk_id = "/subscriptions/1234/resourceGroups/rg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/VM1-restored-osdisk-20210810-132929"
  }

  vm_size                       = "Standard_A2_v2"

  os_profile_windows_config {}
}

hi @MMollyy

Thanks for opening this issue :)

Taking a look through this appears to be a duplicate of #8195 - rather than having multiple issues open tracking the same thing I'm going to close this issue in favour of that one; would you mind subscribing to #8195 for updates?

Thanks!
