This issue was originally opened by @cehoffman as hashicorp/terraform#16228. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.
The name of the remote state backend changed from azure to azurerm in the 0.10 series. of releases (unsure which patch version). While this was disruptive, it wasn't terrible but the data backend for remote state still uses azure as the backend type. This is a disconnect in the two configurations and a source of confusion.
