Terraform-provider-helm: Add tiller resource

[luisdavim]

Hi,

I think it would be great if you could manage the deployment of tiller across different namespaces with a dedicated resource.

[rporres]

This makes a lot of sense and would actually solve issues like #109. We would need to iron details as what to do with release/tiller dependencies as we want to make sure that tiller is always installed before the release

[gaui]

Yeah, it would make much more sense than this...

I'm about to try it out. I will need tiller set and running on k8s cluster via terraform anyway, so this suggestion make so much sense

[Jeeppler]

@iorlas any updates on this topic?

This would also solve the problem of installing only Tiller and no other charts, in case you don't want to manage those charts in the Terraform state.

My current workaround for this is:

  "data": {  
    "helm_repository": {
      "incubator": {
        "url": "https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com",
        "name": "incubator"
      }
    }
  },
  "resource": {
    "helm_release": {
      "raw_hello_world": {
        "depends_on": [
          "kubernetes_cluster_role_binding.tiller"
        ],
        "name": "hello-world",
        "repository": "${data.helm_repository.incubator.metadata.0.name}",
        "chart": "incubator/raw"
      }
    }
  }

which installs an empty release of incubator/raw, a chart dedicated to adding any Kubernetes resource.

We're only accepting enhancements for Helm 3 from this point on.
