Just to let you know that support for this has now landed in v1.16 of the AzureRM Provider (here's the full changelog](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/blob/v1.16.0/CHANGELOG.md)). You can upgrade to to this version by specifying it in your provider block:

provider "azurerm" {
  version = "=1.16.0"
}

... and then running terraform init -upgrade :)

Thanks!

Hi guys,

i am trying to deploy from a Shared Image agllery for the first time now, but i am a bit confused by looking at the docs.

The purpose of using Shared Image Galleries for us is to deploy from a central image repo accross all our subscriptions.
But looking at the data sources for shared_image and shared_image_version etc. there seems to be no way of specifying where this gallery actually is (the subscription)

Am i missing something ?

You can achieve this by using multiple instances of a Provider (also known as Aliasing Providers) - there's some more information on this here.

This'd look something like this:

provider "azurerm" {
  version =  "=1.19.0"
  subscription_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
  alias = "primary"
}

provider "azurerm" {
  version =  "=1.19.0"
  subscription_id = "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
  alias = "secondary"
}

"azurerm_shared_image_version" "test" {
  name                = "1.0.0"
  image_name          = "my-image"
  gallery_name        = "my-image-gallery"
  resource_group_name = "example-resources"
  provider = "azurerm.primary"
}

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "test" {
  # ...
  provider = "azurerm.secondary"
}

Thanks!
