Conclusion

Information importante : Ce projet dispose du support de Partenaires Technologiques Importants : Des entreprises telles que CloudFlare, BuildKite, GitLab et Oracle soutiennent le projet.

Avec sa compatibilité avec Terraform, son engagement envers l’open-source, et ses nouvelles fonctionnalités telles que tofu test en font une option viable à qui cherche une alternative à Terraform.

Mais rien de mieux que le tester en condition réelle pour vérifier les promesses annoncées par l’équipe d’OpenTofu. C’est ce que je vais faire dès maintenant et je publierai mes conclusions définitives dans les prochaines semaines.

2024-01-10 OpenTofu Announces General Availability by The Linux Foundation

SAN FRANCISCO – JANUARY 10, 2024 – The OpenTofu community is excited to announce the general availability of OpenTofu, the open source fork of Terraform™, now a production-ready project under the Linux Foundation.

This milestone follows four months of development from over five dozen developers, offering a straightforward migration path for Terraform users.

The journey to this release highlights OpenTofu’s community-driven approach, and the value of open source.

Two examples of this stand out:

  • An RFC for client-side state encryption was submitted by a community member that tried to bring it to Terraform since 2016

  • Multiple RFCs for the OpenTofu registry were submitted, leading to an architecture that is 10x faster and 10x cheaper to operate.
