In essence, it’s the interface used to manage, create, and configure the cluster and the state of objects. Using a standard API, Kubernetes allowed teams to focus on constructs and consume infrastructure across different providers.

Infrastructure as Code, part 1: create a Kubernetes cluster with Terraform

This series shows you how to get started with infrastructure as code (IaC). The goal is to help developers build a strong understanding of IaC through tutorials and code examples. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an integral part of modern continuous integration pipelines. It is the process of managing and provisioning cloud and IT resources using machine readable definition files.

What is Kubernetes Lens?
