Deep dives
The Open Tofu initiative and its goal to continue the open source spirit of Terraform
The Open Tofu initiative, previously called OpenTF, is a fork of Terraform designed to declaratively manage infrastructure using code. It allows users to describe the desired state of their infrastructure using a special DSL, and Open Tofu handles the process of creating and modifying the infrastructure accordingly. Open Tofu is also an ecosystem of providers, which are plugins that enable communication with various cloud and SAS backends. The initiative aims to continue the open source spirit of Terraform and provide a platform for community-driven development.
