Summary

  • Rancher periodically expires the token embedded in rancher2_cloud_credential.harvester's
    kubeconfig_content, but that field was permanently ignore_changes'd — once created,
    Terraform could never renew it, forcing manual UI edits (and Rancher's own "Renew" button
    is unreliable in some versions).
  • Adds a harvester_credential_rotation variable (number, default 0). Bumping it forces a
    brand-new kubeconfig to be fetched from Rancher — the same dynamic API path used on initial
    creation — and applied to the existing credential in place. No manual kubeconfig content is
    ever required.
  • Implementation: a terraform_data.harvester_kubeconfig_rotation resource pins the live
    data.rancher2_cluster_v2.harvester[0].kube_config value across applies
    (ignore_changes = [input], avoiding drift since Rancher mints a new token on every
    refresh) and only recomputes it when triggers_replace = [var.harvester_credential_rotation]
    fires. The cloud credential resource now reads kubeconfig_content from that pinned value,
    so a rotation updates the credential in place — same secret ID, no cluster or
    machine-pool disruption.

Usage

Bump harvester_credential_rotation in the calling module and terraform apply to renew:

module "cluster" {
  source                         = "..."
  create_cloud_credential        = true
  harvester_credential_rotation  = 1  # was 0 — renews the token
  ...
}

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a configurable credential rotation trigger for Harvester cloud credentials.
    • Cloud credential kubeconfig values are now refreshed when the rotation setting changes.
    • Existing kubeconfig values remain stable between rotations, improving credential consistency.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The module adds an explicit Harvester credential rotation variable. A terraform_data resource caches the dynamically fetched kubeconfig and refreshes it when the rotation value changes. The Harvester cloud credential now uses the cached output.

rancher2_cloud_credential.harvester now reads kubeconfig_content from terraform_data.harvester_kubeconfig_rotation[0].output. The previous credential-level lifecycle handling is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bf0be

This change renews the credential token in place, but the current implementation may expose that token in Terraform plans and may use the wrong namespace or service account for customized cloud-provider credentials. These are concrete security and correctness risks that should be fixed before merging.

…to preserve sensitivity

The prior implementation buffered the Harvester kubeconfig token through
terraform_data's legacy input/output attributes, which do not preserve
Terraform's sensitivity mark — the token could render in plain text in
plan/apply output. It also considered forcing a full credential replace
to trigger renewal, which would cascade into rancher2_cluster_v2.this's
machine_pools cloud_credential_secret_name.

Switch to terraform_data's store.sensitive_output block (Terraform >= 1.16),
gated by store.version = var.harvester_credential_rotation, so the token:
- only refreshes when the rotation counter is bumped (no per-apply drift)
- keeps its sensitive mark end to end (never rendered in plain text)
- updates the existing credential in place (same secret ID, no cluster or
  machine_pool cascade)

Bumps the module's required_version to >= 1.16 accordingly.
