<p>I'm new to Terraform, and using it to create a Kubernetes cluster on GKE. I also want to create a Kubernetes deployment using the kubernetes_deployment resource type. This works perfectly, until I make a change to the deployment and run 'terraform apply' again. This results in the following error:</p>

<p>kubernetes_deployment.example: replicationcontrollers "terraform-example" not found</p>

<p>It looks like the Kubernetes provider starts looking for a replication controller to modify instead of a deployment. Am I doing something wrong, or might this be a bug in the provider?</p>

<p>I'm trying this with the following example: <a href="https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/kubernetes/r/deployment.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/kubernetes/r/deployment.html</a></p>

<p>Thanks,
Daniel</p>

<p>It looks like a but there's already an issue open <a href="https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-kubernetes/issues/210" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>You can also see a gist with the logs <a href="https://gist.github.com/enozero/9e60d362b7801b779555133241608059" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>A deployment creates and managers a <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicaset/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ReplicaSet</a> and not a <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicationcontroller/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ReplicationController</a>. A replication controller is the older Kubernetes way of managing replicas and you may still some K8s resource definitions out there, and it's still supported. However, a lot of new management of stateless replicas has been centered mostly around Deployments/ReplicaSets.</p>
