Question
Assign Kubernetes node to domain via Terraform

Asked by mhiltpold
I have found the terraform module to create a domain to create a kubernetes cluster. I would like to assign the domain to a specific kubernetes node. Looking at the domain module, we see that this needs an ip, but the kubernetes cluster module does not export that. Consequently, I always have to assign the domain manually to the node (Networking > Domains > create A record that directs to the worker node). So my question, what am I missing to automate that step via terraform? Best, Mat

Hi there,
I believe that, usually, you would not point your domain name to a 1 specific Node directly, but have a service like a Load Balancer to which you would point your domain name to:

There was recently a similar question here on how to get the IP address of the load balancer:

Hope that this helps!
Best,
