Long running object creation times out

[jeremypng]

What happened?

Creating objects that have long creation times fails.

How can we reproduce it?

This consistently happens to me when trying to use the Terraform Provider to create an Azure ADX cluster with the AzureRM provider for Terraform. When the terraform provider for Crossplane times out, the object is still successfully created in Azure, but doesn't make it into the terraform remote state. You then have to manually import the object into the state file to get the crossplane object to update.

What environment did it happen in?

• Crossplane Version: 1.13.2
• Provider Version: 0.10.0
• Kubernetes Version: Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"25", GitVersion:"v1.25.11", GitCommit:"8cfcba0b15c343a8dc48567a74c29ec4844e0b9e", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2023-06-19T16:12:25Z", GoVersion:"go1.19.10", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
• Kubernetes Distribution: AKS

You can increase the context timer for the provider from the default 20 minutes by using a ControllerConfig and setting the --timeout arg to the value you need.

Using this as an example: https://github.com/upbound/provider-terraform/blob/main/examples/aws-eks-irsa-setup.yaml if you add "--timeout=45m" to the args list that contains the --debug flag, the provider will run with a context timeout of 45 minutes.
