Terraform 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 y 1.9 han traído import blocks, removed, ephemeral values, un framework de tests nativo y el preview de stacks. Mientras tanto, OpenTofu consolida su fork tras el cambio a BSL.
OpenTofu reached GA in January 2024 as an open-source Terraform fork under MPL 2.0, with Linux Foundation governance. Six months later, it is a stable drop-in replacement: same configs, same state format, same CLI. Version 1.7 adds native state encryption, the first real technical edge over Terraform.
Ansible and Pulumi solve different problems and are not competitors: Ansible manages configuration inside a server (packages, users, services); Pulumi defines, with real code in TypeScript, Python, Go or .NET, which cloud infrastructure exists (VPCs, instances, databases). Combining them, with Pulumi's dynamic inventory feeding Ansible, is the most productive pattern for automating a stack that includes servers in the cloud.
On 10 August 2023, HashiCorp changed Terraform from MPL 2.0 to Business Source License v1.1, which prohibits building competing products. For 95% of teams using Terraform internally, the practical impact is nil. Teams building SaaS products on top of Terraform need to review their situation or consider OpenTofu.
OpenTofu is the community fork of Terraform, born in 2023 after HashiCorp switched to the Business Source License. With full file compatibility and Linux Foundation governance, it is the legally safe alternative for organisations with strict open-source policies or for those building products on Terraform.
