tfk8s is a Go CLI tool that converts Kubernetes YAML manifests into Terraform HCL for use with the Terraform Kubernetes Provider. It supports multi-document YAML, kubectl output stripping, Helm chart conversion, and directory trees of manifests.

Use cases

• convert kubernetes yaml manifests to terraform hcl
• migrate existing k8s manifests to terraform
• pipe kubectl get output into terraform config
• convert a helm chart to terraform resources
• convert a directory of manifests to terraform

When to choose

• you manage Kubernetes resources with the Terraform Kubernetes Provider and want to avoid hand-writing HCL
• you're migrating existing YAML manifests or docs examples into Terraform
• you want to import live cluster resources via kubectl output

When to avoid

• you use the kubernetes/helm Terraform provider with raw YAML via kubectl_manifest-style files
• you don't use Terraform at all
• you need a library/API rather than a CLI
