Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Affected Resource(s)

azurerm_cosmosdb_account

Terraform Configuration Files

• main.tf

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "cosmosdb" {
  name     = "${var.resource_group_name}"
  location = "${var.location}"
}

resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_account" "cosmosdb_account" {
  name                      = "${var.cosmos_db_account}"
  location                  = "${azurerm_resource_group.cosmosdb.location}"

    failover_priority = 1
  }
}

resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_sql_database" "sqldb" {
  name                = "${var.cosmos_db_name}"
  resource_group_name = "${azurerm_cosmosdb_account.cosmosdb_account.resource_group_name}"
  account_name        = "${azurerm_cosmosdb_account.cosmosdb_account.name}"
}

Expected Behavior

Should not need to specify the following variables when using Session consistency level:

• max_interval_in_seconds
• max_staleness_prefix

Actual Behavior

It complains that max_staleness_prefix needs to be greater then 100000 and max_interval_in_seconds needs to be greater then 300

After change the values to 100000 and 300, re-apply changes, it then detect the values should be changed from defaults:

• max_interval_in_seconds = 5 -> 300
• max_staleness_prefix = 100 -> 100000

Note: The above change was never applied (after 20 min)

[peterbev]

The issue appears to occur whenever there are multiple geo locations configured, provider insists on max_staleness_prefix and max_interval_in_seconds being set to the minimums required for BoundedStaleness

This has been released in version 1.34.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 1.34.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
