This repository contains the Terraform module for creating a simple but ready-to-use managed Kubernetes Cluster on Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK).
It uses the latest available Kubernetes version available in the Alibaba Cloud region, creates all necessary RAM roles with its policies and generates a kubeconfig file at completion.

You need an Alibaba Cloud account.
- Always uses latest Kubernetes version available at Alibaba Cloud region
- Creates all necessary RAM roles and policies
- kubeconfig file generation
export KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig_ackin repo root dir to use the generated kubeconfig file- The
enable_alibabavariable is used in the hajowieland/terraform-kubernetes-multi-cloud module
See tables at the end for a comprehensive list of inputs and outputs.
