    Idk if its just me but these sort of frameworks seem the make it intentionally hard to figure out wtf they are for.

    What is OpenTofu? OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open-source license to the BUSL

    None of these names mean anything to me.

    The entire FAQ doesn’t spend a syllable saying what it is for, except that its like Terraform. Which is a bad name to google.

    After searching around, it seems to be some vaugely defined devops/cloud management thing.
