Config Connector

Config Connector is an open source Kubernetes add-on that manages Google Cloud resources directly through Kubernetes. It handles the concrete job of bridging cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes manifests, allowing you to define and control GCP services using standard Kubernetes objects rather than separate console actions or Terraform files.

This approach fits teams already operating Kubernetes clusters who want to unify their infrastructure management within the same ecosystem. The main trade-off is the lack of a free tier; you pay as you go for the underlying Google Cloud resources, so there is no zero-cost entry point for testing or small-scale experiments.
