We have multiple clusters. Size of each ASG is ~200 Nodes. Our workflow is as follow

We manage our infrastructure with Terraform and have multiple clusters, each containing number of Auto Scaling Group (ASG) with roughly 200 nodes each. Our workflow involves a two-step process: plan followed by apply. However, when we attempt to upgrade a cluster and modify the ASGs within this workflow, we frequently encounter an issue where the desired size of the ASG changes outside of Terraform's control. This leads to unexpected behavior and potential bugs.

We follow blue/green upgrade model, when we migrate pods from blue to green ASG. This require to have blue and green asgs.

This soluiotn is not sufficient

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
    ignore_changes = [
      desired_capacity
    ]
  }

This is a commont error code

Describe the solution you'd like.

Add support for ignore_failed_scaling_activities it was added to aws provider a year+ ago.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Change to our processes

1. Do not run plan - apply stages, but apply only. Still fails
2. Execute cluster upgrade as first step. Seconds step to create/update ASGs
3. When cluster upgrade is happenting, to disable autoscaling for blue as well as green ASG node group
