Terraform outputs of "helm_release" resource

Question

It is possible to export as an output a specific helm value that is not provisioned by Terraform? For example, I created nginx ingress controller with Helm via terraform and I want to export the external IP of it. (The ip isn't created via terraform, this is an internal ip).

Thanks!

Answer 1

you can use the data block in terraform to get outputs from existing resources, you can read more about that in the docs.

in your case, you can do something like this:

data "kubernetes_service" "ingress_svc" {
  metadata {
    name = "ingress_svc"
  }
}

output "instance_ip_addr" {
  value = data.kubernetes_service.ingress_svc.status.0.load_balancer.0.ingress[0].ip
}

you can read more about that in the Kubernetes provider docs
