      And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp’s silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

    So let me get this straight: Hashicorp gets private equity’d, changes its license to be a rentseeker against Amazon and Google, and now sells itself to the OG rentseeker.

    What the fuck happened to open source?

    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

    hashicorp’s APIs will be right at home at IBM. Right along with HCL. not a fan of either but have been forced to use them. this might bode well for my future if a pending license change is coming.

    HashiCorp provides a suite of tools intended to support the development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.[16] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.[17]

    Can someone tell me what this actually means?

      They provide tools that make it easier to automate large-scale deployments of servers and applications.

      They do tools for programmers. Big projects! But not stuff sold at retail. The plugin stuff is saying it plays well with the other kids on the playground.

      And you get extras if you pay more.

      Instead of dealing with proprietary rest APIs to manage every third party service you use, you can use a declarative, idempotent format to define infrastructure that’s compatible with all of them
