I know people hear Hashicorp and instantly think Terraform, but Vault is the real crown jewel here.
Long live OpenBao
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?
https://opentofu.org/ is apparently the community fork of terraform
And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp’s silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.
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.
Christ
Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu
RIP terraform
The kiss of death
Terraform fork:
https://opentofu.org/RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
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
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.
OpenTofu is under Linux Foundation stewardship, they can find another supporter.
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
