Using Terraform to both create kubernetes clusters (AKS) and deploy helm charts in the same project - good or bad?

• terraform-provider-flux

  Terraform provider for Flux version 2

  

  IMO, a better approach would be to provision your cluster using terraform, then do cluster operations using a GitOps tool, such as GitOps Toolkit (Flux v2) - https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/. You can point multiple clusters to the same repo and they are going to apply and reconcile the desired state for all or your clusters if needed. There’s also a Flux terraform provider - https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux, bootstrap flux then let it do its job.
