How to create a subnet with NSG for an existing VNet?

In my Azure landing zone, my organization has established a policy that will not let me create a subnet without NSG.

Use case: I want to create an additional subnet for an existing VNet. How can I do that?

I tried the following: I have captured the existing VNet using data block:

data "azurerm_virtual_network" "aks" {
  name                = data.azurerm_resources.vnets.resources[0].name
  resource_group_name = azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.default.node_resource_group
}

Then I have tried to create a subnet:

resource "azurerm_subnet" "example" {
  name                 = "example-subnet"
  resource_group_name  = azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.default.node_resource_group
  virtual_network_name = data.azurerm_virtual_network.aks.name
  address_prefixes     = ["10.0.1.0/24"]
}

This gives me an error message that it is not allowed to create a subnet without NSG. But as per Terraform Registry, I do not see how to refer to an NSG in the creation of my subnet. How can I solve this problem?

Please note:

  1. Yes, I know that I can configure a new VNet with subnet(s) with NSG using this syntax:
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "default" {
  name                = "${var.projectName}-${var.clusterName}-vnet"
  address_space       = ["10.240.0.0/12"]
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.default.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.default.name
  subnet {
          address_prefix = "10.240.0.0/16"
          name           = "ag"
          security_group = azurerm_network_security_group.default.id
  }
}

But this does not help me, because I have to operate on an existing VNet.

  1. Yes, I know that I can assign an NSG to an existing subnet via azurerm_subnet_network_security_group_association. But this will also try to create the subnet first which will also fail because of the missing NSG.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot!
