Feature Request

Add support for azurerm_backup_policy_vm_workload to enable application-consistent backups for database workloads running on Azure VMs.

Use Case

Enterprise customers running SQL Server, SAP HANA, or Oracle databases on Azure VMs need application-aware backup policies that provide:

  • Transaction log backup capabilities
  • Point-in-time recovery for databases
  • Application-consistent backup scheduling
  • Granular database-level recovery options

Proposed Implementation

Add azurerm_backup_policy_vm_workload resource to the module with support for:

  • SQL Server workload backup configuration
  • SAP HANA workload backup configuration
  • Flexible backup scheduling (full, differential, log backups)
  • Auto-protection for new databases
  • Integration with existing vault and protected VM resources

Benefits

  • Extends module capabilities for enterprise database workloads
  • Provides application-consistent backup solution beyond VM-level snapshots
  • Supports modern database backup requirements with granular recovery options
