The problem is that can't connect to the k8s, looks like your credentials a wrong

[mkubik]

Interesting, you're right. I now used a different config, now I get

Error: Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* helm_chart.helmchart: 1 error(s) occurred:

* helm_chart.helmchart: error creating tunnel: "could not find a ready tiller pod"

with the same tf config.

found

container "tiller" in pod "tiller-deploy-675678b54-s54n6" is waiting to start: trying and failing to pull image

in the logs. investigating...

[mkubik]

works now, looks like it doesn't like
tiller_image = "gcr.io/kubernetes-helm/tiller:latest"
bur rather
tiller_image = "gcr.io/kubernetes-helm/tiller:v2.8.1"

Also, running terraform plan on a cluster without helm installed will fail as it is actively looking for tiller.

The error is caused by the Tiller Pod that's not up and running yet.
A sleep 5 must be configured to enable the Pod to finish booting before issuing any future Helm commands...
