Description

It would be great to have azurerm_resource_groups data source to fetch mutiole resource groups based on tags.
Behaviors and design should be similar to azurerm_resources

Use cases for this multiepl RG dat source

• fetch multiple RGs with specific tags
• then use these RGs: to fetch specific resources inside OR provision specific resources

azurerm_resources allows lookup of resources, but not RGs.

data "azurerm_resource_groups" "dev_resource_groups" {
  required_tags = {
    environment = "dev"
  }
}

resource "something_cool_for_all_dev_rgs" "something" {
  count = length(data.azurerm_resource_groups.dev_resource_groups.resource_groups)

  # ..
}
