hi @aswinraaj

Thanks for opening this issue :)

The error you're seeing above is because you're attempting to use a Service Principal via the Azure CLI which we don't support. Instead we support using either the Azure CLI with a user account, or by using a Service Principal specified either via Environment Variables or inline (more details can be found here). Would you be able to take a look and see if that works for you?

Since this is a question about Terraform Configuration rather than a bug in Terraform I'm going to close this issue for the moment - however please let us know if that doesn't work for you and we'll take another look.

Thanks!
