About OpenTofu

OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open source license to the BUSL. The initiative has many supporters. On the technical level, OpenTofu 1.6.x is very similar feature-wise to Terraform 1.6.x. In the future, the projects feature sets will diverge. The other main difference is that OpenTofu is open source, and it's goal is to be driven collaboratively with no single company being able to dictate the roadmap. Companies will encounter more difficulties with the situation. Switching to a new project carries risks, but staying with a project that changes its license without warning is far riskier. This risk is minimized by giving OpenTofu to the Linux Foundation, and OpenTofu’s aim of maintaining feature parity with Terraform for future releases reduces the technical risks.

Cycloid

(3 Ratings)

Cycloid is an internal developer portal and platform that platform teams customise instead of building from scratch. Branding, sidebar navigation, team and persona pages, resource tabs and concept names all adapt to the organisation. Platform teams set the guardrails once, with SSO, four-layer authorisation, predefined environment types, naming rules, approvals and one audit log. Published Blueprints on Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible and Helm become golden paths, and developers can also compose their own environments inside the same rules. Developers deploy, run day-2 actions and promote infrastructure and application changes between environments from one portal. The software catalog tracks ownership, relations and DORA metrics, and scorecards rate services. Plugins connect GitHub, GitLab and the major clouds, and jobs run on the Native Runner or existing CI. AI assistants work inside the same checks. Deployment options are SaaS, self-hosted or air-gapped.
