What is the difference between Terraform and Kubernetes?

The question is about Terraform

Answer:

The purposes of both Terraform and Kubernetes relate to the management of different aspects: infrastructure management and application management. Terraform is an IaC tool that provides a common configuration workflow to provision and manage all types of infrastructure resources, including virtual machines, networks, and databases, on cloud providers and on-premises. This covers creating and maintaining basic infrastructure that will provide ground for application operability. Kubernetes is the orchestration platform that manages and scales containerized applications across clusters of servers. While Terraform automates the creation of infrastructure, Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications inside that built infrastructure. In many cases, Terraform has built out the underlying infrastructure that Kubernetes will use later to orchestrate containerized applications.
