[tutorial] kubernetes - outdated nginx container version

[HannesOberreiter]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.11.3
on darwin_arm64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubernetes v2.36.0

What is the docs issue?

The example nginx container is quite outdated and cannot be used if one uses an arm processor.

image = "nginx:1.7.8"

Proposal

In my opinion this should be made more generic and future proof.

image = "nginx:stable-alpine-slim"

Hey @HannesOberreiter and @crw

Thanks for flagging this issue! I'd like to work on updating the outdated NGINX container image in the tutorial to a modern, ARM-compatible version ("nginx:stable-alpine-slim") as suggested.

Could you please confirm if this change is acceptable? If so, could you also assign this issue to me?

Understood, thank you for letting me know @crw !!

In that case, I’ll just leave my suggestion here in case it’s helpful for the internal docs team — The image "nginx:1.7.8" is outdated and doesn't support ARM architectures. I recommend switching to "nginx:stable-alpine-slim", which is more secure, lightweight, and multi-arch compatible.

Appreciate all the work you do — happy to help in any way I can!
