Creating Azure kubernetes cluster before destroying it - resource already exists

Terraform
,
1

Hi,

I have a kubernetes cluster and i want o have some sort of zero downtime on my cluster when change OS size for example.

So i did try to use lifecycle feature " create before destroyed". As i guessed that the cluster name can be an issue , i did used a "random id " resource to cobine with my cluster name.

My initial cluster name is " eolementhe-top-k8s-cluster-143e" ( with value “143e” as the random id)

so part of my code is like below

resource "random_id" "server" {

  byte_length = 2

}

resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "eolementhe" {

  lifecycle {

    ignore_changes = [default_node_pool[0].node_count]

    create_before_destroy = true

  }

  name                = "${local.eolementhe.azure.kubernetes_cluster_name}-${random_id.server.hex}"

  location            = azurerm_resource_group.eolementhe.location

  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.eolementhe.name

  # The dns_prefix must contain between 3 and 45 characters, and can contain

  # only letters, numbers, and hyphens. It must start with a letter and must end

  # with a letter or a number.

  dns_prefix         = local.eolementhe.name_prefix

  kubernetes_version = var.orchestrator_version

  role_based_access_control {

    enabled = true

  }

  linux_profile {

    admin_username = var.admin_username

    ssh_key {

      key_data = file(local.eolementhe.ssh_public_key)

    }

  }

when launching my “terraform apply” through github actions, it seem that an new random id is properly created but i get an error saying that my cluster resource already exists and needs to be imported into the state but this resource is already present ( i checked twice on tfstate file)

did i missed something related to the sue of this lifecycle feature ?
