Description

It is not currently possible to reference an azurerm_virtual_desktop_* resource as a data source. This prevents someone from, for example, creating diagnostic monitoring for an Azure Virtual Desktop Workspace using Terraform.

If you attempt to reference a azurerm_virtual_desktop_* resource as a data source, this naturally results in an error:

Invalid data source
  on data_avd_workspaces.tf line 1, in data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_workspace" "example_workspace":
   1: data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_workspace" "example_workspace" {

The provider provider.azurerm.example_subscription does not support data
source "azurerm_virtual_desktop_workspace".

New or Affected Resource(s)

data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_application" data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_application_group" data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_host_pool" data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_workspace"

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_application" "example_application" {
  name                = "example_application"
  resource_group_name = "example_resource_group"
}

data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_application_group" "example_application_group" {
  name                = "example_application_group"
  resource_group_name = "example_resource_group"
}

data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_host_pool" "example_host_pool" {
  name                = "example_host_pool"
  resource_group_name = "example_resource_group"
}

data "azurerm_virtual_desktop_workspace" "example_workspace" {
  name                = "example_workspace"
  resource_group_name = "example_resource_group"
}

Expected properties to be exposed by these data sources would minimally include the resource's name and ID.

Hi,

I am having exactly the same "challenge" right now.

I created an AVD with hostpool, workspace and so on but, since we don't know yet the amount of instances that are going to be deployed, we were planning to create a pipeline with terraform vm code deployment and reference to an existing AVD/Hostpool, so as soon as a user requests a machine, that machine can be created and assigned automatically to the Hostpool.

Is this still not feasible to do? Is there any workaround discovered?

Hello, Any update on this one. The only way now is to import the host pool in your config but having a data source would make it easy to add news hosts in a already existing host pool.
