And no smartphone in your pocket, of course.

You can use KeePassXC (with a dedicated vault or not), synced by another mean (Nextcloud, Syncthing, Git, etc.).

Except the ecosystem, how is terraform better than opentofu? As far as i know, currently they still are almost identical.

 

I'm looking forward to switch from Terraform to OpenTofu, but i have the impression that the ecosystem around it didn't catch up yet.

Did any of you already did the switch? If so, what do you use as a replacement for Terraform Cloud, the VSCode extension and/or terraform-ls?

For Terraform Cloud, the are many options: scalr, spacelift, etc. Spacelift looks nice as it can also run Ansible, but Scalr seems to have a better and simpler UI.

But on the editor side, there doesn't seem to be much... the VSCode extension has been forked but it still seem to be in its early days (cf. this issue: it still uses terraform-ls under the hood, which itself looks for the terraform binary).

Yup, that's what i would also do.

Yeah we are better served with pedantic nerds that thinks they know IaC better than some top engineer at an IaC vendor 🤷

Ok i think i get the point. A "generic programming language" could be used as a "domain specific language" in some context. Is that what you mean?

The author seems fully aware of the existence CDKTF, and by invest i think he means that they should privilege it instead of HCL. The point is that if you learn Python, it is reusable somewhere else. If you learn HCL, you learned a vendor language, it is only used in Terraform.

The author is actually fine with CDK, since it uses an actual programming language. That's the point of the article.

By the way, on a personal note, Terraform is still bad to my eyes since their license change.

I'm in the process of migrating to Pulumi, i like it so far.

You can use if instead of the ugly count hack in HCL... 🤷‍♂️

You won't see the end of these crapwares until there is centralized managment console with it, sadly...

 

TLDR: terraform bad, pulumi good
