add the fields "serviceAccountName" and "serviceAccount" in the "kubernetes_cron_job" resource.

Description

I want to use my own serviceaccount to run a Cronjob in Kubernetes.
Now it looks like the cronjob uses the "default" account from the namespace it's located in.

add the fields "serviceAccountName" and "serviceAccount" in the "kubernetes_cron_job" resource.

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "kubernetes_cron_job" "example" {
  metadata {
    name      = "${var.application}-up"
    namespace = var.aks_namespace
    labels = {
      app       = "${var.application}-up"
      az_env    = var.environment
    }
  }
  spec {
    concurrency_policy            = "Replace"
    failed_jobs_history_limit     = 5
    schedule                      = "08 08 * * *"
    starting_deadline_seconds     = 10
    successful_jobs_history_limit = 10
    **serviceAccountName: sa-example
    serviceAccount: sa-example**
    job_template {
    }

Hi @aloosnetmatch, serviceAccount has been deprecated and is apart of serviceAccountName. Additionally, serviceAccountName is to be added in the Job Template as shown below.

resource "kubernetes_cron_job_v1" "demo" {
  metadata {
    name = "demo"
  }
  spec {
    concurrency_policy            = "Replace"
    failed_jobs_history_limit     = 5
    schedule                      = "1 0 * * *"
    timezone                      = "Etc/UTC"
    starting_deadline_seconds     = 10
    successful_jobs_history_limit = 10
    job_template {
      metadata {}
      spec {
        backoff_limit              = 2
        ttl_seconds_after_finished = 10
        template {
          metadata {}
          spec {
            service_account_name = "this" <<<< HERE
            container {
              name    = "hello"
              image   = "busybox"
              command = ["/bin/sh", "-c", "date; echo Hello from the Kubernetes cluster"]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Here is some documentation that should explain further and assist with implementing this: Job Template Spec and Cron_Job_v1 Resource.

@sheneska
hello. When can I use the service_account_name you mentioned?

It seems that service_account_name is accepted by kubernetes_cron_job_v1 but not applied in the actual manifest. Is this a bug? I'm trying to run terraform apply within the cluster itself, I configured a service account with the needed permissions and when I pass it to cronjob with a syntax like this it doesn't write the relevant field.

resource "kubernetes_cron_job_v1" "replica" {
  metadata {
    name      = "my-job"
    namespace = "default"
  }

  spec {
    schedule           = "0 */2 * * *" # Every 2 hours
    job_template {
      metadata {
        name      = "test"
        namespace = "default"
      }

      spec {
        template {
          metadata {
            name = "test"
          }
          spec {
            restart_policy = "Never"
            # Use well known service account that have permissions to write state into kubernetes
            service_account_name            = "xxx"
            container {
              name  = "terraform"
              image = "hashicorp/terraform:1.9"
              # args        = ["apply", "-auto-approve"]
              args        = ["plan"]
              working_dir = "/app"
              env {
                name  = "TF_INPUT"
                value = "0"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
