Debug Output/Panic Output

Error: "hotpatching_enabled" is currently only supported on "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-core", "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-core-smalldisk", "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-hotpatch" or "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-hotpatch-smalldisk" image reference skus

Expected Behaviour

Terraform should create the virtual machine when hotpatching_enabled = true as the SKU supports the functionality.

Actual Behaviour

Terraform prevents the virtual machine from being created and outputs the above error.

If I do the same deployment of the above configuration file with the hotpatching_enabled parameter set on 'false' it works as per normal behaviour, but then if I modify again this hotpatching_enabled parameter to 'true', terraform completes successfully the changes on the already deployed VM.
