The problem in your OpenTofu project

When there is a network issue with dataplane access to the storage account configured in azurerm backend tofu will appear not to respond for 15min before outputting a error (with default log levels):

15 min timeout error:

 Error: error loading state: blobs.Client#Get: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: Get "https://example.blob.core.windows.net/example/example.state": EOF

Attempted Solutions

Found no option for this under https://opentofu.org/docs/language/settings/backends/azurerm/

Proposal

Include a parameter for "timeout", the default seems to be 15min.

Example proposed config:

  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "example"
    storage_account_name = "example"
    container_name       = "example"
    key                  = "example.state"
    use_azuread_auth     = true
    timeout              = "60" # value in seconds
  }
