But I'm curious about the providers ecosystem. Isn't that the weak link in this project? Biggest ones are actually developed by Hashicorp and not the big 3 cloud vendors. I also failed to find any independent docs on them, just a huge pile of folders in GitHub with basically no interface nor description what is what.
So while I use OpenTofu I still really fully on terraform docs.
Are there similar resources within OpenTofu project?
Won't Pulumi change its license like terraform a few years down the line?
There are lots of options. A few things to consider:
- Is it a dedicated individual or group responsible for the IaC? What are they comfortable with? - Details about the running app will need to find their way into the infra somehow (env vars at least), if it's a separate group or individual, what will be the most obvious process to perform that exchange of information?
I wrote a short piece about point two [1]. Disclosure: I work at a company building a platform with its own opinionated IaC.
