Description

OpenTofu is a fork of Terraform, initiated by a coalition of companies including Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, and Scalr, in reaction to HashiCorp’s transition from an open-source license to the Business Source License (BUSL). This initiative has garnered considerable backing from various stakeholders. Technically, OpenTofu 1.6.x closely mirrors Terraform 1.6.x in features, although the two projects are expected to evolve in different directions over time. A key distinction is that OpenTofu operates as an open-source project, aiming to foster collaborative development without a single entity controlling its future direction. Companies may face challenges in navigating this transition, as switching to a new platform presents its own set of risks; however, remaining with a project that modifies its licensing unexpectedly is even more perilous. The risk associated with this change is alleviated by transferring OpenTofu to the Linux Foundation, while its commitment to maintaining feature parity with Terraform in upcoming releases further mitigates potential technical issues. This collaborative approach not only enhances transparency but also invites broader community engagement in the ongoing development of OpenTofu.

Description

Terraform is a powerful open-source tool for managing infrastructure as code, offering a consistent command-line interface to interact with numerous cloud services. By translating cloud APIs into declarative configuration files, Terraform enables users to define their infrastructure requirements clearly. Infrastructure can be written using these configuration files, leveraging the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), which provides a straightforward way to describe resources through blocks, arguments, and expressions. Before making any changes to your infrastructure, executing the command terraform plan allows you to verify that the proposed execution plan aligns with your expectations. To implement the desired configuration, you can use terraform apply, which facilitates the application of changes across a wide range of cloud providers. Furthermore, Terraform empowers users to manage the entire lifecycle of their infrastructure — from creating new resources to overseeing existing ones and eventually removing those that are no longer necessary, ensuring efficient management of cloud environments. This holistic approach to infrastructure management helps streamline operations and reduces the risk of errors during deployment.
