Kubernetes is very good at keeping track of state and maintaining it. You "just" tell it the state you want and it makes sure it becomes reality (this is the whole point of k8s actually). Terraform is doing the same thing, just for imperative (instead of declarative) APIs (like public clouds, etc).

The issue with Kubernetes is more expressing the state. Kube uses YAML, which quickly becomes verbose and hard to maintain. More on our blogpost: https://grafana.com/blog/2020/01/09/introducing-tanka-our-wa...

Tanka is trying to solve this issue by providing a more powerful language that overcomes these limitations hopefully.
