It’s Alive! The OpenTF Fork of Terraform is Alive!

We are ecstatic to announce that work on OpenTF has not only started, but has been underway for over a week now.

We’re also thrilled to share that OpenTF has found a home at the Linux Foundation, and from there will transition into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This will provide the project with robust and vendor-neutral governance in line with our impartiality and community-first principles and a huge step to ensure that OpenTF remains open source forever.

Scalr will have first-class support for OpenTF, which is designed to be a drop-in replacement for legacy Terraform. This means your dev teams will be able to switch to OpenTF when they want, and that not all teams have to switch at the same time. You can have Legacy Terraform and OpenTF workspaces coexist. The OpenTF fork will be made public soon, and a release will be made public thereafter, and with it, full support in Scalr.

You can help by starring the Manifesto, by showing your support on social media using the hashtag #OpenTF, and you can follow progress on our public roadmap here.
