@Aaron_Cutchin your point is valid and I think my wording is incorrect. Terraform does in fact deploy it properly, it's the Azure API that is unreliable. I so so often have to rely on 'depends_on' for dependencies, especially around networking. Azure itself requires networking to be deployed before ...

"Declarative languages require the use of dependency mapping when deploying (example: deploying a VM without networking first, will error out)" Dependency mapping is automatic in Terraform and does not need to be manually configured. For ...
