Resource Provider configuration in Modules with for_each loops

[chrisfromzurigo]

Current Terraform Version

Terraform v1.1.6

Use-cases

We have around 40-50 Azure subscriptions. A resource group should be deployed to each of the subscription. In each resource group backup vault and policies etc will furthermore added deployed (some of the vault are in different region deployed). To not repeat code, if created a module which runs in an for_each loop (in the module there is an other for_each loop for the vault/policies etc). The terraform code runs so far correct, with the limit that all resource groups are deployed in the same subscription.

Attempted Solutions

To bring more dynamic in to the code i've tried to add the resource provider in to the module and then add the right subscription id trough an variable to the module. terraform does not allow this procedure. Even if i add 40 resource provider in an provider.tf file i'm not able to change the subscription for each iteration of the module.
This is a big limitation to terraform.

Proposal

Make a more dynamic way of given an provider as input to an resource. The resources will be implemented by an module in an for_each loop. Would even love to have an more dynamic way to change subscription than creating 40 resource provider with aliases.
