OpenTofu is an open-source alternative to Terraform’s widely used Infrastructure as Code provisioning tool.

Previously named OpenTF, OpenTofu is an open and community-driven response to Terraform’s recently announced license change from a Mozilla Public License v2.0 (MPLv2) to a Business Source License v1.1, providing everyone with a reliable, open-source alternative under a neutral governance model.
