Debug Output/Panic Output

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.
╷
│ Error: Error ensuring Resource Providers are registered.

│ Terraform automatically attempts to register the Resource Providers it supports to

│ 
│ If you don't have permission to register Resource Providers you may wish to use the
│ "skip_provider_registration" flag in the Provider block to disable this functionality.

│ Please note that if you opt out of Resource Provider Registration and Terraform tries

│ Could indicate either that the Resource Provider "Microsoft.Foo" requires registration,

│ More information on the "skip_provider_registration" flag can be found here:

This is related to #21695 and appears to be a duplicate of #21785. I'm also experiencing this issue in an AzurePublicCloud environment, so I don't think it is related to just AzureChina.
