<p>I am trying to retrieve the hostname in my Application Load Balancer that I configured as ingress.</p>
<p>The scenario currently is: I am deploying a helm chart using terraform, and have configured an ALB as ingress. The ALB and the Helm chart was deployed normally and is working, however, I need to retrieve the hostname of this ALB to create a Route53 record pointing to this ALB. When I try to retrieve this information, it returns null values.</p>
<p>According to terraform's own documentation, the correct way is as follows:</p>
<pre><code>data &quot;kubernetes_ingress&quot; &quot;example&quot; {
  metadata {
    name = &quot;terraform-example&quot;
  }
}

resource &quot;aws_route53_record&quot; &quot;example&quot; {
  zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.k8.zone_id
  name    = &quot;example&quot;
  type    = &quot;CNAME&quot;
  ttl     = &quot;300&quot;
  records = [data.kubernetes_ingress.example.status.0.load_balancer.0.ingress.0.hostname]
} 
</code></pre>
<p>I did exactly as in the documentation (even the provider version is the latest), here is an excerpt of my code:</p>
<pre><code># Helm release resource
resource &quot;helm_release&quot; &quot;argocd&quot; {
  name = &quot;argocd&quot;

  repository       = &quot;https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm&quot;
  chart            = &quot;argo-cd&quot;
  namespace        = &quot;argocd&quot;
  version          = &quot;4.9.7&quot;
  create_namespace = true

  values = [
    templatefile(&quot;${path.module}/settings/helm/argocd/values.yaml&quot;, {
      certificate_arn = module.acm_certificate.arn
    })
  ]
}

# Kubernetes Ingress data to retrieve de ingress hostname from helm deployment (ALB Hostname)
data &quot;kubernetes_ingress&quot; &quot;argocd&quot; {
  metadata {
    name      = &quot;argocd-server&quot;
    namespace = helm_release.argocd.namespace
  }

  depends_on = [
    helm_release.argocd
  ]
}

# Route53 record creation
resource &quot;aws_route53_record&quot; &quot;argocd&quot; {
  name    = &quot;argocd&quot;
  type    = &quot;CNAME&quot;
  ttl     = 600
  zone_id = aws_route53_zone.r53_zone.id

  records = [data.kubernetes_ingress.argocd.status.0.load_balancer.0.ingress.0.hostname]
}

</code></pre>
<p>When I run the <code>terraform apply</code> I've get the following error:</p>
<pre><code>╷

<p>The terraform datasource for Ingress is : kubernetes_ingress_v1.

<p>This should work.</p>
