OpenTofu
Terraform-compatible infrastructure-as-code under MPL-2.0 after upstream license shifts.
Why it is included
Preserves an OSI-friendly IaC path for teams migrating from Terraform workflows.
Best for
Cloud provisioning with declarative stacks and provider ecosystems.
If you use Windows, Mac, or paid tools
IaC alternative to Terraform where BSL license changes affect procurement; compare to Pulumi (paid tiers) too.
Strengths

- Open governance intent
Limitations
- Migration testing required; ecosystem still evolving
