CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

See above

EXPECTED RESULTS

Working like it does on the portal / as it does with the arm templates, when creating it via an ARM template, you specify the address version:

 "resources": [
        {
            "name": "[parameters('networkInterfaceName')]",
            "type": "Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces",
            "apiVersion": "2019-07-01",
            "location": "[parameters('location')]",
            "dependsOn": [],
            "properties": {
                "ipConfigurations": [
                    {
                        "name": "ipconfig1",
                        "properties": {
                            "privateIpAddressVersion": "IPv4",
                            "privateIPAllocationMethod": "[parameters('privateIPAllocationMethod')]",
                            "subnet": {
                                "id": "[parameters('subnetId')]"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "[parameters('privateIpv6Address')]",
                        "properties": {
                            "privateIpAddressVersion": "IPv6",
                            "privateIPAllocationMethod": "Dynamic",
                            "subnet": {
                                "id": "[parameters('subnetId')]"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            },
            "tags": {}
        }
    ]

That is not exposed from the azure_rm_networkinterface module.

ACTUAL RESULTS

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error creating or updating network interface nicName - Azure Error: IPVersionForPublicIpAndNicIpConfigurationMustMatch\nMessage: IP version for publicIPAddress '/subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/rgName/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/public_ipv6_name', version 'IPv6' and network interface ipConfiguration '/subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/rgName/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/nicName/ipConfigurations/ipconfig2', version 'IPv4' must match."}

Got this workaround working, but it's not anywhere as nice as if this was supported directly with azure_rm_networkinterface
