How can I deploy a Kubernetes cluster onto OpenStack with Terraform?

I know OpenStack has a supported method of installing a Container Container Orchestration Engine (COE) like Kubernetes using Magnum. I can not use Magnum because I am not an administrator on OpenStack and we do not have the "Service Endpoint" for Magnum installed.

Terraform has the ability to provision resources on OpenStack: I have this working. Is there any easy way to provision multiple resources and to configure a Kubernetes cluster on top of OpenStack from a non-admin level of permissions? I'm open to using other tools like Ansible to get this job done. I'm just wondering if this is possible as a regular non-admin of OpenStack to easily set up a Kubernetes cluster from the resources I can provision?

You can try rancher Kubernetes Engine (rke), that helps us to configure the Openstack provider in the Kubernetes cluster for creating resources like persistent volumes, Loadbalancers etc. https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/cloud-providers/openstack/ Can you give more info on what kind of permissions are we talking about? I use the Terraform helm_provider to directly deploy applications, controllers, and basically everything. You can also use kubernetes or kubectl manifest(again terraform resource) to accomplish this, but it's a bit messy for my taste. So I basically have an EKS cluster built with Terraform, and I have deployed all the resources and controllers with the helm_provider and I maintain it fully with that. @KristianKanchev I want to answer that question, but I don't know how. So I asked a follow up https://devops.stackexchange.com/q/15407/18965
