Expected Behavior

Create a storage share with premium azure file. The configuration works if account_tier = Standard

Actual Behavior

It failed with error:

Error: Error creating Share "default" (Account "null" / Resource Group "null"): shares.Client#Create: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: Put https://null.file.core.windows.net/null?restype=share: dial tcp: lookup nancycas4.file.core.windows.net: no such host

on main.tf line 14, in resource "azurerm_storage_share" "this": 14: resource "azurerm_storage_share" "this" {

Steps to Reproduce

Important Factoids

Long time, first time, so please forgive any contribution guidelines missed.

I saw this issue previously opened and apparently unresolved in the previous issues, and wanted to provide some findings. This does not appear to be a Terraform issue, but an Azure Premium issue with fileshares.

What storage tiers are supported in Azure Files? Azure Files supports two storage tiers: premium and standard. Standard file shares are created in general purpose (GPv1 or GPv2) storage accounts and premium file shares are created in FileStorage storage accounts.

Azure File Storage FAQ

Correcting this issue is a matter of adding to the storage account creation the account_kind reference of FileStorage:

account_kind = "FileStorage"

The error seen above is the result of an incorrect URL for the type of storage created (since the default is StorageV2 and Premium StorageV2 does not have file storage available and the URL query returns a no such host response).
