I am currently writing a Terraform file which should create all required resources in Azure in a specific resource group. As I do not have the permissions to create resource groups I imported an existing resource group following this link.
Now the problem is that when I run terraform destroy, the system also wants to delete the resource group as it was included as a resource.
Is there a simple way I can tell Terraform to destroy all created resources except the imported resource group? Or another way to approach this problem?
I tried the lifecycle variable prevent_destroy but it prevents any resource from being destroyed.
The solution presented here does not really work for me as I do not want to use multiple commands as this adds the risk of human error. What I am basically looking for is a way to label the resource group in the Terraform file in a way that it is not deleted.
