Helm Or Terraform

Terraform
1

In my office, we are planning to come up with a tool to create the test infrastructure, where user provides inputs as what services and or infra he needs to be part of the test cluster. I had following suggestions from people to use in the backend (arranged based on popularity of suggestions):

  1. Use helm charts directly
  2. Use Terraform with kubernetes as a provider

Kindly suggest, which one of these gives me flexibility and control or if there is any other better approach. Thanks

Both work, as does using Helm with Terraform.

Are there Helm charts available already for any applications? If so, Iā€™d probably suggest using those as that will simplify maintenance.

Thanks much. Yes for majority of the services we have helm3 charts, but each is for single service, not for group of services. Thanks again for clear answer.
