OpenTofu Is Going GA

  • If anyone is looking to use OpenTofu on a Red Hat family distribution*, I have a COPR repository[0] available with x86_64 and aarch64** packages. The easy way to get started:

        $ rpm --quiet -q dnf-plugins-core || dnf install dnf-plugins-core
        $ dnf copr enable mroche/cloud-native-utilties
        $ dnf install opentofu
    
    It is side-by-side installable with Terraform, but if you want to do an in-place switch, you can simply do:

        $ dnf swap terraform opentofu
    
    * This includes Fedora 38+ and EL9. I can't support EL8 until Go 1.21[1] is tagged for a release compose.

    ** aarch64 packages are currently building.
