OpenTofu: Liberating IaC and DevOps beyond Terraform
OpenTofu also started out with tremendous support from the open source DevOps community, which is a particularly engaged bunch. Over 150 companies, including Env0, Gruntwork and Harness, and nearly 800 individual developers, have pledged their support. Naturally, this has led to widespread adoption in the enterprise as well as quick growth of the ecosystem – a large number of cloud service providers and tool vendors have added native support for OpenTofu.
Not all smooth sailing
All said and done, Terraform is still the most widely adopted IaC framework, used by 80% of all IaC practitioners, as per the State of IaC report. A Reddit poll conducted soon after OpenTofu was announced showed that the majority of respondents were sitting on the fence when it came to migrating from Terraform. That may well have changed in the last few months, but there are no updated data or stats available to prove it.
OpenTofu still has a couple of significant obstacles in its path before it can become the sole dominant force in IaC, though.
