Automate Helm's tiller installation with Terraform

I need to be able to generate disposable kubernetes environments using terraform. These environments should use helm for application deployment and ideally have tiller installed during the terraform resource provision.

What is the best way of automating this? Should I "copy" the deployment generated by helm init and translate it to terraform lingo? Is there any other solution more elegant than this?

I tried to explicitly declare the terraform's helm provider block, but without any real chart deployment it does not bother into installing the tiller service.

How I see there is two options (from my exp):

• Use configuration for provider.

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/helm/index.html, there is option to install tiller.

• Use prefabricated modules, for example:

https://registry.terraform.io/modules/Vidimensional/tiller/kubernetes/0.0.1
