terraform-operator
A Kubernetes CRD and controller that runs Terraform operations as Kubernetes-managed workflows.
What is terraform-operator?
Terraform Operator is a Kubernetes operator that provides a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and controller to run Terraform operations as managed workflows within Kubernetes. It allows users to define Terraform configurations as Kubernetes manifests, automating the execution of Terraform commands like plan and apply through dynamically generated pods. This bridges infrastructure-as-code practices with Kubernetes-native orchestration.
DevOps engineers and platform teams who manage infrastructure with Terraform and want to integrate those workflows directly into their Kubernetes clusters for better automation and resource management.
Developers choose Terraform Operator because it enables GitOps-style management of Terraform runs, leveraging Kubernetes' scheduling, secrets, and RBAC capabilities. Its unique approach treats Terraform executions as Kubernetes workloads, providing native integration without external CI/CD systems.
