Terraform fork:
https://opentofu.org/RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
https://opentofu.org/ is apparently the community fork of terraform
Christ
Turns out that IBM is leading OpenTofu efforts. We might just be done here.
Also Pulumi is technically fucked too. Back to good old shell scripting boys
The bastards can never take away your shell script full of arcane and unreadable curl commands parsed by incomprehensible awk scripts!
Isn’t Pulumi moving to native API stuff instead of the tf provider?
I don’t know
The kiss of death
hashicorp’s APIs will be right at home at IBM. Right along with HCL. not a fan of either but have been forced to use them. this might bode well for my future if a pending license change is coming.
Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu
HashiCorp provides a suite of tools intended to support the development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.[16] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.[17]
Can someone tell me what this actually means?
Imagine what happen when you bought a new computer. You’ll install an os, then install all apps you need, copy over all data you need, etc. Now imagine if you have 100 of new computers. The tools hashicorp made basically enable you to create a recipe to perform all this operation over a fleet of servers.
They provide tools that make it easier to automate large-scale deployments of servers and applications.
Instead of dealing with proprietary rest APIs to manage every third party service you use, you can use a declarative, idempotent format to define infrastructure that’s compatible with all of them
They do tools for programmers. Big projects! But not stuff sold at retail. The plugin stuff is saying it plays well with the other kids on the playground.
And you get extras if you pay more.
Damn, iirc someone (forgot who) actually called it at the beginning of terraform debacle, though it was redhat instead of ibm, but close enough.
IBM owns Red Hat
Well, Redhat is owned by IBM now so basically spot on
I know people hear Hashicorp and instantly think Terraform, but Vault is the real crown jewel here.
Just as we were building out our terraform deployments… Not a good omen.
