Non-random cluster_name for examples/kubernetes

[kriswuollett]

Is there a particular reason why cluster_name being tf-k8s-${random_id.cluster_name.hex} was needed in #564? When I remove the random_id resource and just set cluster_name to my_cluster, the output of terraform plan has the error:

│ Error: Unable to find cluster with name: my-cluster
│ 
│   with module.kubernetes-config.data.digitalocean_kubernetes_cluster.primary,
│   on kubernetes-config/main.tf line 18, in data "digitalocean_kubernetes_cluster" "primary":
│   18: data "digitalocean_kubernetes_cluster" "primary" {

I'm new to Terraform so would like to learn more about this issue if it is not technically a bug. Thanks!

Hi @kriswuollett, thanks for the question. I was able to reproduce the behavior you described but will need to look into it more before I can suggest a solution.

OK thanks. I think I was able to find what seems like a way in #695. Just don't know at the moment how the randomized name helps currently.
