The official Terraform provider plugin for Kubernetes, maintained by HashiCorp, enabling full lifecycle management of Kubernetes resources through declarative Terraform configuration. It is written in Go and distributed via the Terraform Registry.

Use cases

• manage kubernetes deployments with terraform
• provision kubernetes resources declaratively
• create kubernetes namespaces and services via iac
• apply kubernetes manifests through terraform
• manage k8s configmaps and secrets in terraform
• infrastructure as code for kubernetes clusters

When to choose

• you already use Terraform and want to manage Kubernetes resources in the same workflow
• you need declarative, version-controlled lifecycle management of Kubernetes objects
• you want to combine cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes resources in one codebase

When to avoid

• you prefer Helm charts or Kustomize for Kubernetes-native package management
• you only need ad-hoc kubectl operations without state tracking
• you manage resources better handled by dedicated Kubernetes operators
