resource "kubernetes_pod" "allowed" {
metadata {
name = "terraform-example-613"
}
spec {
container {
image = "nginx:1.7.9"
name = "example"
security_context {
allow_privilege_escalation = false
}
}
dns_config {
nameservers = ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8", "9.9.9.9"]
searches = ["example.com"]
}
dns_policy = "None"
}
