I have to create VM using enable accelerated networking.
But, I can't create it as it's can be enabled networking in the azurerm_virtual_machine resource. provider of terraform. Because of this issue, I'm using by creating network interface in the azurerm_template_deployment of terraform.
When can I use it in the terraform? If I can configure it now, Please inform me of how to enable it.

Hey @uj7380

Thanks for opening this issue :)

This currently isn't supported in Terraform and after some investigation will need an update to the Azure SDK for Go for us to be able to implement this. I've opened an issue requesting that this feature is added to the SDK and once it is we can look into adding support for it.

Thanks!

Please inform me of the current status. When will this feature be added? :)

Can we get an update on this please ?

Accelerated networking seems to have gone GA https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/maximize-your-vm-s-performance-with-accelerated-networking-now-generally-available-for-both-windows-and-linux/ so it would be good to make use of it.

Thank you

Matt

I had an immediate need for this feature. PR provided above.

I did a quick test with my account and it successfully provisioned a VM with the Melanox interface live and running.

I am not able to run the acceptance test suite, but I did provide what looked like a reasonable acceptance test.

@tombuildsstuff should this be closed?

resource "azurerm_network_interface" "nic01" {
name = "${var.vm_machine_name}nic01"
location = "${var.vm_location}"
resource_group_name = "${var.resource_group_name}"

enable_accelerated_networking = "True"

How to enable accelerated networking in VMSS using Terraform. I tried enable_accelerated_networking = "True" in network profile but TF is complaining invalid or unknown key, am I missing anything? Any help is highly appreciable.

this is what I tried
............................

network_profile {
    name                      = "vmss_pf_profile"
    primary                   = true
    network_security_group_id = "${var.nsg}"
    enable_accelerated_networking = true

    ip_configuration {
      name                                   = "${var.name}"
      subnet_id                              = "${var.app_subnet}"
      primary                                = true
      load_balancer_backend_address_pool_ids = ["${var.azurerm_lb_backend_address_pool_id}"]
    }
  }
