Terraform apply fails to create resource group, all other commands then fail

Terraform

Here is my main.tf file. Terraform init does not throw any errors, but when I try to apply , I get errors.

Azure Provider source and version being used

terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = “hashicorp/azurerm”
version = “=2.46.0”
}
}
}

Configure the Microsoft Azure Provider

provider “azurerm” {
features {}

subscription_id = "####
tenant_id = “####”
}

locals {
azure_location = “East US”
}

resource “azurerm_resource_group” “primary_vnet_resource_group” {
name = “vnet-prod-002-eastus-001”
location = local.azure_location
}

resource “azurerm_virtual_network” “primary_vnet_virtual_network” {
name = “vnet_primary_eastus-001”
location = local.azure_location
resource_group_name = “azurerm_resource_group.primary_vnet_resource_group.name”
address_space = [“10.0.0.0/16”]
}

resource “azurerm_subnet” “aks-subnet” {
name = “snet-aks-prod-002-eastus-001”

location = local.azure_location

virtual_network_name = “primary_vnet_virtual_network.name”
resource_group_name = “azurerm_resource_group.primary_vnet_resource_group.name”
address_prefixes = [“10.0.1.0/24”]
}

resource “azurerm_subnet” “application-subnet” {
name = “snet-app-prod-002-eastus-001”

location = local.azure_location

virtual_network_name = “primary_vnet_virtual_network.name”
resource_group_name = “azurerm_resource_group.primary_vnet_resource_group.name”
address_prefixes = [“10.0.2.0/24”]
}

resource “azurerm_subnet” “postgres-subnet” {
name = “snet-postgres-prod-002-eastus-001”

location = local.azure_location

virtual_network_name = “primary_vnet_virtual_network.name”
resource_group_name = “azurerm_resource_group.primary_vnet_resource_group.name”
address_prefixes = [“10.0.3.0/24”]
}

We strongly recommend using the required_providers block to set the

Azure Provider source and version being used

terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {

The resource group appears to be created just fine. It’s the azurerm_virtual_network that’s not created. I’m pretty sure it’s because you have quotes around the resource_group_name, which indicates it is a string literal rather than dereferencing the value from another resource.
