Hello

Terraform's ip_configuration block in azurerm_network_interface lacks the ability to specify IPv6 as the private IP address type meaning IPv6 load balancers cannot be used.

According to the Microsoft documentation, the CLI command to create IP configurations for a network interfaces can specify --private-ip-address-version.

Az CLI command (truncated):

bash-4.4# az network nic ip-config create --help

Arguments
    ...
    --private-ip-address           : Static IP address to use or "" to use a dynamic address.
    --private-ip-address-version   : Allowed values: IPv4, IPv6.
   ...

Thanks.

Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.11.11

• provider.azurerm v1.20.0
• provider.local v1.1.0
• provider.random v2.0.0

Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_network_interface, ip_configuration

Expected Behavior

Ability to specify IP version in the ip_configuration block of azurerm_network_interface.

Actual Behavior

Defaults to IP configuration using IPv4.
