Using Terraform azurerm_virtual_machine_extension Resource

Question

I am trying to use the azurerm_virtual_machine_extension resource in a Terraform template and am trying to understand what the "name" Argument should be. The documentation says "The name of the virtual machine extension peering. Changing this forces a new resource to be created" but quite honestly, I am not sure what that means.

Answer 1

the "name" should be anything you would like it to be. its just a name.

The name of the virtual machine extension peering. Changing this forces a new resource to be created

This means that if you change the name a new extensión will get created (instead of updating the old one).
