When registering a VM as a DSC node, the Automation Account's key and DSC Registration URL values are required. These cannot be retrieved in Terraform. Creating an azurerm_automation_dsc_configuration_metadata module that returns these 2 values would enable us to dynamically register Azure VMs as DSC nodes.

Suggested name for new data source: azurerm_automation_dsc_configuration_metadata

• azurerm_automation_dsc_configuration

Potential Terraform Configuration

# Copy-paste your Terraform configurations here - for large Terraform configs,

The resource already supports outputting the Primary Key/DSC Server Endpoint

Is there a blocker for this? @tombuildsstuff

@bastienfrancheteau were you able to find another solution other than use powershell?

@tombuildsstuff does the GoSDK support this now, its been almost a year

It is available in powershell

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $data = Get-AzAutomationRegistrationInfo -ResourceGroupName resourcegroup -AutomationAccountName AutomationAccount

ResourceGroupName     : resourcegroup
AutomationAccountName : AutomationAccount
PrimaryKey            : PrimaryKey            
SecondaryKey          : SecondaryKey
Endpoint              : https://cc-agentservice-prod-1.azure-automation.net/accounts/guid
