In this blog post, I will show you how to update the Azure Terraform provider version in a Terraform configuration file.
Provider
In Terraform every module (including main) must declare which provider it is using for the configuration to work.
Azure Provider
In the configuration below, I am using the Microsoft Azure provider. If you look closely at the below configuration you will see that I’m using version 2.40.0.
terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
version = ">= 2.40.0"
}
}
}
I can also check the provider version using the following Terraform command.
terraform.exe providers
Update Provider Version
To update the Azure provider version, I will first check the latest provider version from the Terraform provider page. In our case I will use the following link.
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs
The version number appears in top section as shown below.
To update, I will edit the provider version and run terraform init.
terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
version = ">= 2.41.0"
}
}
}
