Description

Please add the hibernation support as per azapi:-

resource "azapi_resource" "devbox-defintion-vspro" {
  for_each = azurerm_dev_center.devbox

  type = "Microsoft.DevCenter/devcenters/devboxdefinitions@2023-04-01"
  // eg. Win11-8vcpu
  name      = azurerm_shared_image.vspro[each.key].name
  location  = each.value.location
  parent_id = each.value.id ## devcenter
  tags      = each.value.tags
  body = jsonencode({
    properties = {
      hibernateSupport = "Enabled"
      imageReference = {
        id = format("%s/galleries/default/images/%s_%s_%s", each.value.id, data.azurerm_platform_image.vspro[each.key].publisher, data.azurerm_platform_image.vspro[each.key].offer, data.azurerm_platform_image.vspro[each.key].sku)
      }
      osStorageType = "ssd_512gb"
      ## size of compute
      sku = {
        ## only need with scale out/in
        ## capacity = int

        family = "general_i_v2"
        name   = "general_i_8c32gb512ssd_v2"
        ##        size = "string"
        ##        tier = "Basic" |  "Free" | "Premium" | "Standard"
        ##        tier = "Premium"
      }
    }
  })
  schema_validation_enabled = true
}

Thanks for raising this issue. The MS Official Doc indicates that this feature is still in preview status. Generally, Terraform doesn't support the preview feature. Once this feature is released as stable feature, then we can take another look. Thanks.

There might be potential regression issues to have AzureRM support Azure preview features, because preview features do not guarantee its backward and forward feature compatibility. E.g. If AzureRM supports it now but this feature will have new versions in the future which however would include breaking changes to the current preview versions, it would be uneasy for AzureRM to catch up with that new version because it's on purpose to bring as few breaking changes as possible to Terraform AzureRM.

Per the perspective of having people experience this feature in TF, Terraform AzAPI provider could be an option.
