Description

Linux Virtual Machines on Azure have the option to bring your own license, this is useful for people who already have SUSE or RHEL subscriptions that they'd like to use with the Azure Hybrid License Benefit. Unfortunately this feature is not exposed in the current AzureRM providers for Linux, Windows VMs already have this feature exposed.

For Linux a value for the "licence_type" could be added, the possible options would be: None, RHEL_BYOS, SUSE_BYOS

The feature is exposed in ARM by properties.licenseType

 #An example of a VM confiq with the new option:

resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "example" {
  name                = "example-machine"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  size                = "Standard_F2"
  admin_username      = "adminuser"
  license_type    = "RHEL_BYOS"

  network_interface_ids = [
    azurerm_network_interface.example.id,
  ]

  admin_ssh_key {
    username   = "adminuser"
    public_key = file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")
  }

  os_disk {
    caching              = "ReadWrite"
    storage_account_type = "Standard_LRS"
  }

  source_image_reference {
    publisher = "RedHat"
    offer     = "rhel-byos"
    sku       = "rhel-lvm83"
    version   = "latest"
  }
