The first OpenTofu release is here! After a lot of work, the release is available from the opentofu/opentofu
GitHub repository.
The tofu
command is a seamless drop-in replacement for terraform
and will work with existing Terraform code.
Using the tofu
binary is exactly like using the terraform
binary.

Since HashiCorp recently changed the TOS of their registry, OpenTofu communicates with the official OpenTofu registry located at registry.opentofu.org
.
OpenTofu is aiming for feature parity with Terraform’s 1.6 testing capabilities.
For a list of all changes, see the changelog.
Take the alpha out for a spin and provide feedback!
