Terraform + Kubernetes (terraform-k8s)

This experimental repository contains software which is still being developed and in the alpha testing stage. It is not ready for production use.

The terraform-k8s binary includes first-class integrations between Terraform and Kubernetes. Currently, this project only includes the Terraform Cloud Operator, which synchronizes a Kubernetes Workspace (Custom Resource) to a Terraform Cloud Workspace. You can read more about this project and its potential use cases on our blog. We are actively considering other possible use cases to add to this project outside of the operator, and welcome your feedback.

This project is versioned separately from Terraform. Supported Terraform versions must be above version 0.12. By versioning this project separately, we can iterate on Kubernetes integrations more quickly and release new versions without forcing Terraform users to do a full Terraform upgrade.

Features

• Terraform Cloud Workspace Sync: Create and manage a Kubernetes Workspace that automatically synchronizes to Terraform Cloud. This enables Kubernetes to deploy infrastructure configured by Terraform. (Requires Terraform 0.12+)

Installation

terraform-k8s is distributed in multiple forms:

• The recommended installation method is the official Terraform Helm chart. This will automatically configure the Terraform and Kubernetes integration to run within an existing Kubernetes cluster.

• A Docker image hashicorp/terraform-k8s is available. This can be used to manually run terraform-k8s within a scheduled environment.
