Kubernetes vs. Terraform

The article discusses the differences between two popular DevOps tools - Kubernetes and Terraform, both of which are open-source projects. While Kubernetes is an orchestration tool for managing containers, Terraform lets users define their infrastructure as code. Both tools allow declarative definition of systems and offer modularity and reusability. They can be used together to create/manage infrastructure and manage containers that house applications. The article also explains how these tools can be used to provision data infrastructure on Aiven, a managed cloud services platform. It concludes by suggesting that the choice between using Terraform or Kubernetes depends on factors such as existing familiarity with the tool, whether other infrastructure resources are being managed using it, and whether there is a need for a single control plane to manage both application and data resources.
