Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

I expect running terraform apply twice should not detect any changes.

Actual Behavior

The first command terraform apply creates the cluster and the nodepool. Running the command terraform apply a second time forces a replacement :

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # nutanix_karbon_cluster.mycluster must be replaced
-/+ resource "nutanix_karbon_cluster" "mycluster" {
      ~ deployment_type             = "single-master" -> (known after apply)
      ~ id                          = "myuuid" -> (known after apply)
      ~ kubeapi_server_ipv4_address = "xxx.xxx.xx.x" -> (known after apply)
        name                        = "mycluster"
      ~ status                      = "kActive" -> (known after apply)
        # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)

      ~ etcd_node_pool {
            name            = "etcd-node-pool"
          ~ nodes           = [
              - {
                  - hostname     = "xxxxxxxx-etcd-0"
                  - ipv4_address = "xxx.xxx.xx.x"
                },
            ] -> (known after apply)
            # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)

            # (1 unchanged block hidden)
        }

      ~ master_node_pool {
            name            = "master-node-pool"
          ~ nodes           = [
              - {
                  - hostname     = "xxxxxx-master-0"
                  - ipv4_address = "xxx.xxx.xx.x"
                },
            ] -> (known after apply)
            # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)

            # (1 unchanged block hidden)
        }

      ~ worker_node_pool {
            name            = "worker-node-pool"
          ~ nodes           = [
              - {
                  - hostname     = "xxxxxxx-worker-0"
                  - ipv4_address = "xxx.xxx.xx.x"
                },
            ] -> (known after apply)
            # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)

            # (1 unchanged block hidden)
        }
      - worker_node_pool {
        }

        # (3 unchanged blocks hidden)
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. terraform apply

IIUC, nutanix_karbon_cluster creates 1 worker_node_pool and nutanix_karbon_worker_nodepool creates another worker_node_pool . when we run 2nd terraform apply, it sees a change in worker_node_pool as there is only 1 worker_node_pool in tfconfig for nutanix_karbon_cluster resource and in addition, we have added second worker_node_pool using nutanix_karbon_worker_nodepool resource to the existing infra, so terraform plans detects a change as now there will be 2 worker_nodes_pool present in cluster. hence it is replacing. you can use lifecylce to ignore changes in nutanix_karbon_cluster for node_pool. lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ worker_node_pool, ] }

[olivierboudet]

if I add lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ worker_node_pool, ] } terraform does not see changes anymore each time I run apply. But it does not allow to add new node pools after the creation of the cluster. If I try to add a new node pool, I have another error :

│ Error: unable to expand node pool during flattening: nodepool name must be passed
│
│   with nutanix_karbon_cluster.mycluster,
│   on nke.tf line 1, in resource "nutanix_karbon_cluster" "mycluster":
│    1: resource "nutanix_karbon_cluster" "mycluster" {
│

I am just adding a new nodepool:

resource "nutanix_karbon_worker_nodepool" "test" {
  cluster_name = nutanix_karbon_cluster.mycluster.name
  name = "test"
  num_instances = 1
  node_os_version = "ntnx-1.5"

  ahv_config {
    cpu = 2
    memory_mib = 8192
    network_uuid               = nutanix_subnet.kubernetes.id
    prism_element_cluster_uuid = "0005f937-ba91-1d58-3f59-00620b61f748"
  }

  labels={
    partner="test"
  }
}

It looks like, after the creation of the cluster we can not change its node configuration at all...
