Azuremrm provider block is registering all resources

Terraform Providers Azure
1

I had a new Azure account created and subscription id set in the Azure Portal. Literally everything else is void on this account.

TF version 1.12.2

In .tf file i have only the provider block.

terraform {

required_providers {

azurerm = {

  source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"

  version = "=4.1.0"

}

}

}

provider “azurerm” {

features {}

}

TF plan command started and keeps going in multiple API calls with Azure. I was able to monitor it in the debug mode.

As with any Azure, only few providers are registered by default. With this command im noticing the terraform is REGISTERING a whole slew of other Microsoft resources and continues until i cancel out the terraform plan.

az provider list --query “[?registrationState==‘Registered’].[namespace]” -o table

Qs -

  1. Why is this behavior happening? I dont want any providers other than what im intending to use to move from UnRegistered to Registered state.

  2. how to restrict any activity in my terraform to only to a specific region? eg. im intending to use this snippet. But the resource provider is registering all other resources in all other regions.

    resource “azurerm_resource_group” “rg” {

    name = “my-rg-2”

    location = “East US”

    }

Apart from the registered by default, tf plan registered these resources as well. I had to cancel the tf plan and unregister these resources individually from az cli.
