Question

Attach Kubernetes cluster to project

Is there any way to create a k8s cluster inside a newly created project, or to assign it, after-the-fact, to one of the existing projects, with Terraform, doctl or another tool?

I am currently writing a Terraform project that provisions a k8s cluster and other attached resources (load balancer, volumes, etc.) and I’d like to have all of them under the same project. If I can’t do it with Terraform I’ll write an external script that works with my .tf project.

Thank you

You can see the DOKS documentation calls out a bit of a lack of support here, but provides a workaround:https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/kubernetes/#limits

The control panel does not support assigning a cluster to a project. Instead, do this with doctl projects resources assign:

doctl projects resources assign <project-id> --resource=do:kubernetes:<cluster-id>
