k2tf converts Kubernetes YAML manifests into Terraform HCL configuration files for seamless infrastructure as code integration.
Kubernetes YAML to Terraform HCL converter
This tool is designed for DevOps engineers and cloud security professionals who want to migrate or manage Kubernetes resources using Terraform. It simplifies the process of converting existing Kubernetes YAML files or live cluster objects into Terraform configurations, enabling better infrastructure as code practices and security automation.
Requires a working Golang build environment for building from source. The generated Terraform files are intended for use with the Terraform Kubernetes Provider, so users should be familiar with Terraform workflows. Using live cluster data conversion can streamline infrastructure as code adoption but ensure Kubernetes API access permissions are properly configured.
