# Terraform Managed Kubernetes on Alibaba Cloud ("aliyun")
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.

## Requirements
You need an [Alibaba Cloud](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/registration/index.html) account.
## Features
* Always uses latest Kubernetes version available at Alibaba Cloud region
* Creates all necessary RAM roles and policies
* **kubeconfig** file generation
## Notes
* `export KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig_ack` in repo root dir to use the generated kubeconfig file
* The `enable_alibaba` variable is used in the [hajowieland/terraform-kubernetes-multi-cloud](https://github.com/hajowieland/terraform-kubernetes-multi-cloud) module
## Defaults
See tables at the end for a comprehensive list of inputs and outputs.
* Default region: **eu-central-1** _(Frankfurt, Germany)_
* Default worker node type: **ecs.sn1.medium** _(2x vCPU, 4.0GB memory)_ (choose your cpu and memory configuration -> auto selection of the right instance type)
* Default worker node pool size: **2**
