A Kubernetes CRD and Controller to handle Terraform operations by generating k8s jobs catered to perform Terraform workflows
This project is:
- A way to run Terraform in Kubernetes by defining Terraform deployments as Kubernetes manifests
- A controller that configures and starts Kubernetes Jobs when it sees changes to the Kubernetes manifest
- A Terraform runner which runs Terraform plan/apply, and can also perform pre and post scripts
This project is not:
- An HCL to YAML converter or vice versa
- A Terraform module definition
