    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

      IBM is in no way involved in OpenTofu. Afaik they are involved in OpenBao.

      Source: I’m the technical lead of the OpenTofu project.

      The bastards can never take away your shell script full of arcane and unreadable curl commands parsed by incomprehensible awk scripts!

      OpenTofu is under Linux Foundation stewardship, they can find another supporter.

        They wish. Nobody is gonna replicate that effort successfully any time soon.

        You’d sooner get the cloud providers to standardize on an api.

            Crossplane has also had internal providers in development for 3 years. Bottom line is unless the actual cloud provider is devoting developer resources to a provider(like they do for the TF providers), it’s unlikely to happen.

            I guess I need to start looking deeper into this, and the potential for importing existing infrastructures into pulumi’s purview. But I’m hesitant - I don’t want pulumi to pull a Hashicorp. I’m wondering if it’s best to just go with CFN and Bicep.

              If you’re migrating from tf, OpenTofu might be a better option. I mostly like Pulimi for the language options.
