Kubernetes "kubectl-query" Provider

The query provider can be used to check the state and specs of the services/pods etc. in the k8s cluster. Why anyone would need that?

Sometimes you deploy your services via kubectl provider plugin and you have no idea what the endpoint of the load balancer is! This plugin solves that problem and allows you to query services/pods etc. using kubectl.

Installation

The provider can be installed and managed automatically by Terraform. Sample versions.tf file :

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.13"

  required_providers {
    kubectl = {
      source  = "styczynski/kubectl-query"
      version = ">= 1.7.0"
    }
  }
}

Quick Start

provider "kubectl-query" {
  host                   = var.eks_cluster_endpoint
  cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(var.eks_cluster_ca)
  token                  = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.main.token
  load_config_file       = false
}

data "kubectl-query_services" "cluster_lbs" {}

output "cluster_lb_endpoint" {
    value = [for service in data.kubectl-query_services.cluster_lbs.services: service if service.type == "LoadBalancer"]
}

See User Guide for details on installation and all the provided data and resource types.
