Thank you for your interest in this module! After reviewing the codebase, this feature is already supported.

You can deploy VMs to Azure Edge Zones using the edge_zone variable:

module "virtual_machine" {
  source  = "Azure/avm-res-compute-virtualmachine/azurerm"
  version = ">= 0.20.0"

  # ... other required variables ...

  edge_zone = "microsoftlosangeles1"  # Your target Edge Zone name
}

The edge_zone parameter is automatically applied to the VM and all related resources (managed disks, NICs, and public IPs).

Note: edge_zone in Terraform maps to Azure's extendedLocation API property. Changing this value forces recreation of the VM.

If this doesn't meet your specific needs, please let us know what additional functionality you require.
