Location is required by default because you must specify where to create
the resource group containing the packer resources.
When using build_resource_group_name you are specifying that packer
should use an existing resource group and so the location that resources
are in can be determined by fetching the information from the existing
group.
It is forbidden to pass both variables as it is easier and more
intuitive that the location comes from the group rather than ignore a
parameter.
Closes: #5655
* Created a new parameter for using existing resource groups
* Implemented logic to ensure temp_ and build_ can't both be used
* Implemented logic to ensure they can only be used in correct context
* Implemented tests for this logic
* Updated where required to ensure the process works
* More unit testing to assert customer's configuration.
* Further reduce the options that are needed to power an Azure build.
This seems like a much more manageable level.
* Update all of the examples to use a more current VM sku.
* Add an example for RHEL.
* Move from OpenSuSE to SuSE.
* Update the docs.
The OAuth code was moved to the adal package.
Authorizers now ues an interface instead of a simple token.
Long running operations return a channel for the operation, and the
error.
Two new configuration options have been exposed to allow users to specify
an existing virtual network: virtual_network_name and
virtual_network_resource_group_name.
* virtual_network_name: name of the virtual network to attach a Packer VM
to.
* virtual_network_resource_group_name: name of the resource group that
contains the virtual network. This value is optional. If the value is
not specified, the builder queries Azure for the appropriate value. If
the builder cannot disambiguate the value, a value must be provided for
this setting.
* virtual_network_subnet_name: name of the subnet attached to the virtual
network. This value is optional. If the value is not specified, the
builder queries Azure for the appropriate value. If the builder cannot
disambiguate the value, a value must be provided for this setting.
