Description

I want to create a vm from an image from the marketplace. For doing this, I populated the name, product and publisher parameters of the plan object. Now I'm getting the error that the parameters for the source_image_reference object are not filled in, which is true. I've got the feeling that it should be the one or the other, and so in this case, the source_image_reference shouldn't be filled in. This happens both for a Windows vm ( noticed this one first as the OS_type parameter is default set on windows) as for a Linux vm.

@pieterjangoemandevoteam - Generally I've seen that marketplace images require both the plan and source_image_reference for a successful install. As an example, I used this AVM module to deploy a Cisco 8000v virtual appliance marketplace image in another module here (https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-avm-res-network-routeserver/blob/main/examples/full/main.tf). If you can please provide which marketplace offering you're having issues with, I can try to produce a working sample using this AVM module.

It does seem that you're right, but that doesn't make it logic :)

@pieterjangoemandevoteam - I believe the image is about the build and the plan data is about the billing. I agree that it appears to be duplicated.

I was finally able to look at the openVpn template and here is the configuration you'll likely require for the two values.:

  source_image_reference = {
    publisher = "openvpn"
    offer     = "openvpnas"
    sku       = "openvpnas"
    version   = "latest"
  }

and

plan = {
  name      = "openvpnas"
  product   = "openvpnas"
  publisher = "openvpn"
}

I'll leave this open for a few more days for comments and then close it. If you determine this gets you the answer required feel free to close the issue or provide additional comments if not.
