12/21/2022, 4:24 PMActually, 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.

12/22/2022, 8:19 AM@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.

12/24/2022, 6:20 PMHave you looked at the rke2 provisioner included in the rancher terraform provider?

01/02/2023, 8:43 AMHi @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
