Hi @Jayesh Mhatre

Happy to help!

The subscription_id property is missing in your Terraform configuration file.

To fix this issue, you need to add the subscription_id property to your Terraform configuration file. You can get the subscription ID from the Azure portal or by using the Azure CLI. Here is an example of how to add the subscription_id property to your Terraform configuration file:

provider "azurerm" {
  subscription_id = "your-subscription-id"
  # other provider properties
}

# other resources
