hi, I want to bypass the default cpi and cni being deployed with RKE2 resource rancher2_cluster_v2, as I'd like to use a resource helm_release with my own values file. The issue i'm facing here is that a

<http://node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized=true:NoSchedule|node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized=true:NoSchedule>

taint is being applied to the node which holts the master node from going into a ready state. How can I resolve this please?

You need to deploy an alternative cloud controller manager that will clear that taint.

If you are using a HelmChart resource to do that, make sure you set

bootstrap: true

so that it can install while the node is still tainted.

If you are using terraform helm_release to do that... you will need to figure out how to inject the proper tolerations.

trying to use a helm_release. Would you be able to provide examples or ideas as to how it can be triggered when using resource "rancher2_cluster_v2 for an rke2 cluster?

I'd probably open an issue on the provider repo
