how to launch pod in kubernetes using terraform ?

To launch a pod in Kubernetes using Terraform, you can use the Kubernetes provider for Terraform, which allows you to manage Kubernetes resources such as pods, services, deployments, and more.

Here's an example of how you can launch a pod in Kubernetes using Terraform:

First, make sure you have the Kubernetes provider for Terraform installed. You can do this by adding the following code to your Terraform configuration file:

provider "kubernetes" {

  config_context_cluster = "your-cluster-name"

}

Replace "your-cluster-name" with the name of the Kubernetes cluster you want to use.

Define the pod configuration by creating a new file with the .tf extension, for example pod.tf, and add the following code:

resource "kubernetes_pod" "example" {

  metadata {

    name = "example-pod"

  }

  spec {

    container {

      image = "nginx:latest"

      name  = "example-container"

    }

  }

}

This code defines a new Kubernetes pod named "example-pod" with a single container running the nginx image.

Run terraform init to initialize the Terraform project and terraform apply to create the pod in Kubernetes.

terraform init

terraform apply

Terraform will prompt you to confirm the changes it will make to your Kubernetes cluster. Type "yes" to proceed.

Once Terraform has applied the changes, you can verify that the pod is running by using the kubectl command:

kubectl get pods

Congratulations !! You should see the "example-pod" pod in the list of running pods.

That's it! You've successfully launched a pod in Kubernetes using Terraform. You can now use Terraform to manage other Kubernetes resources as well.
