Kubernetes Pod Template

This module does not create a Kubernetes Pod but rather exposes a pod_template output that is intended to by used by higher-level controllers such as Deployments and StatefulSets. This module is used internally by many Panfactum submodules such as kube_deployment and kube_stateful_set.

Usage

This module follows most of the conventions outlined in this guide.

The following providers are needed by this module:
