I've been working on a project that does exactly this. https://github.com/ericchiang/terraform-provider-k8s

Would love feedback.

Cool! Will take a look at it soon. I believe it still would be great to have that in the official Kubernetes provider.

Have you thought about contributing that back to this provider @ericchiang?

I didn't plan to. Would be happy to review PRs from anyone who wanted to add the feature to this one.

Hi folks 👋
thanks for raising this question.

Supporting YAML/JSON was considered before and during the initial implementation of this provider and we decided _not_ to do it. For that reason I'm going to close this issue as we have no intentions of implementing it nor accepting PRs which accept raw configs in JSON/YAML.

Feel free to use @ericchiang's provider if you wish.
