I know people hear Hashicorp and instantly think Terraform, but Vault is the real crown jewel here.

Long live OpenBao

Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu

https://opentofu.org/ is apparently the community fork of terraform

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp's silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn't bode well for the future.

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.

RIP terraform

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

So let me get this straight: Hashicorp gets private equity'd, changes its license to be a rentseeker against Amazon and Google, and now sells itself to the OG rentseeker.

What the fuck happened to open source?

Terraform fork:

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

~~Turns out that IBM is leading OpenTofu efforts.~~ Nevermind, it's OpenBao they are working on (Hashicorp Vault FOSS fork), we might just be done here.

Also Pulumi is technically fucked too. Back to good old shell scripting boys

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The bastards can never take away your shell script full of arcane and unreadable curl commands parsed by incomprehensible awk scripts!

Turns out that IBM is leading OpenTofu efforts.

IBM is in no way involved in OpenTofu. Afaik they are involved in OpenBao.

Source: I'm the technical lead of the OpenTofu project.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

OpenTofu is under Linux Foundation stewardship, they can find another supporter.
