Question/Req - Using a Packer image as a storage reference - Data Source?

[tomasquith]

Hi there,

When I create a new VM, I use a packer (managed disk) image (imageid stored in consul) in order to create the OS disk. As I'm referencing a self managed image, the only way I seem to be able to nicely use this is by making a full resource id for the storage_image_reference (example below). Is there a nicer way of doing this? Ideally I would see this as a data source for azurerm images.

Terraform Version

latest

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:
azurerm_virtual_machine
azurerm_managed_disk

Terraform Configuration Files

  storage_image_reference {
    id = "/subscriptions/${var.subscription_id}/resourceGroups/${var.image_resource_group}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/${var.image_id}"
  }

Cheers :)
