What is OpenTofu?
The open-source fork of Terraform maintained by the Linux Foundation.
OpenTofu is an open-source fork of Terraform, created after HashiCorp changed Terraform's license from MPL to BSL 1.1 in 2023. It's maintained by the OpenTofu community under the Linux Foundation and is compatible with existing Terraform configurations and providers. OpenTofu aims to remain truly open-source and community-driven. Migration from Terraform to OpenTofu is straightforward as the HCL syntax and state format are compatible.
