Hi Guys,

I am new in Terraform. I want to use Kubernetes as a Terraform provider to launch one Pod. Can anyone help me how can I launch one Pod using Terraform in Minikube Cluster?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use kubernetes_pod resource to launch one Pod in Minikube Cluster with the help of Terraform. This resource will automatically connect with Minikube. You can go through the below-given example.

provider "kubernetes" {
  config_context_cluster   = "minikube"
}

resource "kubernetes_pod" "mypod1" {
  metadata {
    name = "mypod"
  }
  spec {
    container {
      image = "httpd"
      name  = "webcon"
    }
  }
}

Config context cluster=minikube
Why you used minikube there you might give username and pass or certificates in config file
