About
OpenTofu is an open-source, community-driven infrastructure as code tool and drop-in replacement for Terraform, governed by the Linux Foundation. It supports a large ecosystem of providers and modules for building and managing infrastructure across cloud platforms. OpenTofu was created in response to HashiCorp's license change for Terraform and aims to remain fully open-source.
Problem
HashiCorp's switch to a restrictive business-source license for Terraform created uncertainty for companies and developers who rely on open-source IaC tooling.
For
DevOps engineers, infrastructure teams, and cloud developers managing infrastructure as code
How it works
Users define infrastructure using HCL configuration files, and OpenTofu provisions and manages cloud resources across providers via a CLI-driven workflow compatible with existing Terraform configurations.
