The Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes allows you to manage the lifecycle of cloud and on-premises infrastructure from within the Kubernetes control plane. The Operator uses a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) to manage Terraform Cloud workspaces, which execute a Terraform Cloud run to provision Terraform modules. This tutorial guides you through deploying the Operator to your Kubernetes cluster and using it to create a Terraform Cloud workspace and provision application-related infrastructure such as a message queue.
