'Terraform Inconsistent Azure VM Names
I have the following terraform code that creates multiple instances of a Azure VM based on a variable called nb_instance
module "create-servers" {
source = "../../Modules/Create-Vms"
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
vm_hostname = "testvm"
nb_instances = 2
On my create-servers module, I have the following code
resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "vm-windows" {
count = var.nb_instances
name = "${var.vm_hostname}${format("%02d",count.index+1)}"
resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.vm.name
Which works great, however I'm getting inconsitent naming convention between the Azure resource and the actual server name of the VM.
Azure displays the server as testvm01 and testvm02 however the server's actual OS name is testvm-1 and testvm-2 . My desired name is testvm02 which is what I expected within the module. Is there a workaround for this to keep both names consistent?

You also need to set the property os_profile.computer_name
