Azure provider: Resources to create application credentials and service principals

Azure BOSH CPI requires application credentials and service principals to add resources to azure.

But Terraform does not provide a way to:

• Create Azure Applications
• Create a Service Principals
• Assign roles to applications

To understand how this should work refer to this script in our project azure-create-service-principal.sh, which we call before running terraform to create the required resources.

@keymon: sadly, the same story as with https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/3097 and all other seemingly missing resource support issues that were raised. Again; do feel free to add any more requests/suggestions for the ARM switch here: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/3212

Hello!

Thank you for opening this issue and participating in the discussion. Today (December 19, 2017) we’ve announced the deprecation and archival of the Azure Classic Provider. Matching Microsoft’s commitment to gradually remove access to Azure Classic (or Service Management) which is outlined in this blog post, we are closing all open PR's and Issues here. This repository will remain available here on GitHub, but in an archived state, and no longer receiving support or new releases.

The Azure (Resource Manager) Provider remains fully supported and is our recommended approach for managing Azure with Terraform. More information about this process is available in the blog post linked above.

Thanks! The Terraform Team
