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. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** k2tf - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - k2tf: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/k2/k2tf/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - k2tf: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/k2tf/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/k2tf: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/k2tf.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [iam-policy-json-to-terraform](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/iam-policy-json-to-terraform/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, converter, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [tfk8s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfk8s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, converter, developer-tools, hcl, kubernetes. - [terraform-inventory](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terraform-inventory/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terraform-module-versions](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terraform-module-versions/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terraform_landscape](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terraform-landscape/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terragrunt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terragrunt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terrahash](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terrahash/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. - [terrahelp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terrahelp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, terraform. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
