CCE : initial_node_count should not trigger scale down

[gbrd]

I use CCE

I also use the autoscaler.

Here is the scenario :

• I set initial_node_count to 1 for my node pool in my tarraform config

• later the node pool scales (thanks to autoscaler) to 2 nodes

• if I apply again my terraform script (for any other changes elsewhere unrelated), my node count in my node pool is forced back to 1.

How can I set initial value (required by terraform provider) to 1 by tell it not to be changed later if autoscaler decided to change it.

Expected Behavior

node_pool not touched (initial_node_count should only be used on creation)

Actual Behavior

node_pool forced to count = initial_node_count

Steps to Reproduce

Create a node_pool with initial_node_count=1 via terraform
add some pods to have autoscaler scale it to 2 nodes
run terraform apply again

Sorry for the delay!

The issue will be fixed in the next release in the next week.

Now, you can add lifecycle block in node pool resource as a workaround:

resource "flexibleengine_cce_node_pool_v3" "pool" {
  # ...

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      initial_node_count,
    ]
  }
}
