IBM buying Hashicorp truly is the final nail in that coffin. #OpenTofu for the win, I guess!
It does make me wonder if all this will have a chilling effect on new open-source adoption where projects are not affiliated with an umbrella like the Linux Foundation or the Apache Foundation or whoever. #RememberCentOS
I feel IBM is more likely to reverse HashiCorp’s ̶B̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶S̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶L̶i̶c̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ Business Source License decision than HashiCorp’s leadership at the moment.
And if it doesn’t, #OpenTofu likely will eclipse Terraform usage by 2026.
I hadn’t heard about the actually-open-source Terraform fork in awhile and worried it might have fizzled out, but I was delighted to see OpenTofu released a 1.7.0 beta yesterday.
"(...) The #OpenTofu team vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that it misappropriated, mis-sourced, or otherwise misused #HashiCorp’s #BSL code. All such statements have zero basis in facts. (...)"
#Hashicorp sending their lawyers on #OpenTofu feels like the last chapter of what was once a great open source company. Oh well, the claims look baseless, and like pretty much any move Hahicorp made this past year, this will only hurt themselves.
It seems like #WeaveWorks (the #GitOps "inventors") have essentially imploded as a company, leaving the #Flux project in... well, flux I guess. We'll likely see more news like this in the #CloudNative space this year :/
@timthelion survive, yeah sure. But that’s kind of a low bar on the other hand. Best case scenario (from an outsider's perspective) would probably be some of the companies invested in Flux stepping up, similar to what happened with #OpenTofu after the #Terraform fiasco. But we'll see.
Due to some last minute speaker cancellations , we are looking for speakers about #opentofu for our conference in Ghent on 4 & 5 february , if you know people .. please send em our way !
