Provisioning a Windows VM in Azure with WinRM port (5986) open - azure

Question

I'm trying to provision a windows vm on Azure with Terraform with the port 5986 open to allow winrm access. The provisioning of the VM works.
I'm stuck on opening the port with terraform during provisioning. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can follow the terraform script to create a windows server 2016 datacenter and open the default RDP port 3389 and port 5986 in NSG. It works for me.
Terraform v0.11.8
+ provider.azurerm v1.14.0
+ provider.random v2.0.0
