Use rke provider

[outscale-mdr]

Actually, the rke yaml is crafted manually and then we must execute rke initby ourself in order to deploy the cluster.

What could be improve ?

• the cluster could become a terraform resource and no more clean omittion
• the rke configuration is not easily readable
• the rke yaml needs to be maintained by ourself (structure, syntax)

What could be done ?

Suse maintains a rke provider that adds rke cluster as a terraform resource (rancher/terraform-provider-rke).

Drawbacks

• Add another layer around rke. We know that kubernetes version are not rapidly upgraded into rke. Here rke needs to be updated intio the provider to become available therefore the user is less free to choose the version he wants
