Kubernetes Deployment

Provides a production-hardened instance of a Kubernetes Deployment with the following enhancements:

Usage

Basics

This module follows the basic workload deployment patterns describe in this guide.

Horizontal Autoscaling

By default, this module does not have horizontal autoscaling built-in. If you wish to add horizontal autoscaling via the HPA (or similar controller), you should set ignore_replica_count to true to prevent this module from overriding the replica count set via horizontal autoscaling.

Providers

The following providers are needed by this module:

  • kubectl (2.1.3)

  • kubernetes (2.34.0)

  • pf (0.0.5)

  • random (3.6.3)

Required Inputs

The following input variables are required:
