Terraform for the VMs and Ansible for the config are already paying off.
I took my old Ansible playbook that initialized a cluster, joined the other control plane nodes, and then joined two workers which all still works.
Now the really fun part comes about configuring the cluster entirely with some tool, which I might go back to Terraform for. I know I'll want to configure a CNI to start, and kube-vip for the control plane nodes, then I'll be able to get some workloads going.

@angst_ridden Oh, I am full on (30 year career in infosec and infra), #terraform , #ansible, #argocd, #gha (unfortunately because I hate it), #python and #golang Staff CloudOps Engineer.
My OP was just me bitching about it.
My cool task today is setting up a #capev2 server for #vuln and #mal testing.
I'm exploring how to handle the cluster creation now that I can provision nodes on demand and it seems to be the easiest way will be to use Ansible.
I already have a playbook for that (which is great) I'll just need to adjust it to the new inventory and configurations. Should be easy enough?
From there, I think I'll figure out how I want to deploy resources in some idempotent manner. This is where Terraform might come back into play.
I also want to work on testing new versions of containers in a dev space as well as restoring from backups for my more important data, but that's an issue for another month.

Terraform: más allá de la sintaxis HCL en 2026
¿Sabés HCL pero tu infraestructura explota en producción? Aprender Terraform más que sintaxis: estado, módulos y GitOps real explicados sin vueltas.

Of course, things like this are easy with Terraform. Here’s an inventory/config, go make it. This post was more about avoiding sunk cost fallacy with clusterctl.
I even added Terraform configuring the DNS entries for the 5 nodes and figured that was enough for tonight.

Gave up on using clusterctl for the time being, figured out I can get a lot further with Terraform and the template from image-builder (with some minor modifications).
In just over an hour, I already have Terraform provisioning 5 empty VMs preinstalled with the software I need. I'm 99% sure there are ways to provision k8s clusters in Terraform so I don't need to reinvent that wheel. Here are 3 control plane nodes, and 2 worker nodes, go build it.
The only change I had to make with the image-builder template was to re-add a cloud-init disk.
