Hi all, Is there any rke2 terraform provider or other similar solutions for installation automation ?

Actually, I am looking for a similar provider like for RKE to do IaC. If it does not exist yet, is it on Rancher roadmap ? I'd be glad to contribute if necessary.

this a good ansible automation I found and using it: https://github.com/rancherfederal/rke2-ansible

if you are using kube-vip this role is also good: https://github.com/lablabs/ansible-role-rke2

@boundless-eye-27124 Thanks, I already took a look on that role. However, the major drawback of Ansible is being stateless. You cannot really delete rke2 once installed unless going throigh shell commands.

Have you looked at the rke2 provisioner included in the rancher terraform provider?

Hi @best-microphone-20624, yes I looked at Rancher provider. But unfortunately, it requires an existing instance of Rancher. My need is to install RKE2 to install Rancher on top of it. See similar discussion here : https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/1676#issuecomment-1361671521

Currently, a workaround is to use Terraform provisioner. I created a module to install and uninstall an existing RKE2 via Terraform (that launches shell commands).
