Expected Behavior

A VM is created with both a Managed Service Identity, and an attached disk

Actual Behavior

terraform apply

* azurerm_virtual_machine_data_disk_attachment.volumetest: Error updating Virtual Machine "volumetest" (Resource Group "volumetest") with Disk "volumetest": compute.VirtualMachinesClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=400 Code="InvalidIdentityValues" Message="Invalid value for the identities '/subscriptions/2678e156-815b-4ed8-a214-18a708c038fd/resourcegroups/volumetest/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/volume-test-id'.

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Steps to Reproduce

See configuration example above, add a valid ssh pubkey in ./files/id_rsa.pub, then run terraform apply

Important Factoids

If I manually remove the Managed Service Identity from the VM, the volume attaches and detaches fine. Once the VM has a Managed Service Identity, terraform can neither attach nor detach a disk - it always has the error shown above.

The key error seems to be:

Error updating Virtual Machine "volumetest" (Resource Group "volumetest") with Disk "volumetest": compute.VirtualMachinesClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=400 Code="InvalidIdentityValues" Message="Invalid value for the identities '/subscriptions/2678e156-815b-4ed8-a214-18a708c038fd/resourcegroups/volumetest/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/volume-test-id'. The 'UserAssignedIdentities' property keys should only be empty json objects or null."

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if there is any indication of whether this might make it into a workstream some time soon? If not, then we may need to redesign around the limitation in Azure

Thanks!

This is becoming important? Was this fixed?
