history
Project history and usage
k2tf is a focused converter that turns Kubernetes API objects written as YAML into Terraform HCL suitable for the Terraform Kubernetes provider.
Project history
The project started publishing releases in February 2019. Its README defines a narrow purpose: convert Kubernetes YAML into Terraform configuration rather than manage clusters or replace Terraform itself.
Adoption history
k2tf fits teams that already have Kubernetes manifests but want Terraform-managed resources. Its adoption is niche because the need is specific, but package-manager presence in Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Scoop shows enough CLI demand to keep it distributed.
How it is used
Users feed Kubernetes YAML files or directories to `k2tf` and receive `.tf` output compatible with the Terraform Kubernetes provider. It is most useful during migrations from manifest-based workflows to Terraform-managed Kubernetes resources.
Why package nerds care
k2tf is a small but very package-nerdy bridge tool: it exists because two declarative ecosystems, Kubernetes YAML and Terraform HCL, overlap without sharing a native file format.
Timeline
- 2019: k2tf v0.1.0 was released in February.
- 2021: v0.6.0 updated the Terraform Kubernetes provider dependency and noted Homebrew core migration documentation.
- 2024: v0.8.0 was published.
Related projects
- k2tf is related to the Terraform Kubernetes provider, Kubernetes manifests, and sibling conversion tools such as tfk8s.
