I am not only a big fan of hashicorp terraform. I'm also one of the early adopters of it. So this is my main go-to Infrastructure as a Code tool. However all the resources I use are supported by other IaaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK. You definitely got to use one to avoid loosing the track of resources you create.
You can check https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo for Kubernetes show-casing
Terraformer is a CLI tool developed by Google that generates Terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform), simplifying the process of adopting Terraform in existing environments and speeding up the initial setup process. Terraformer supports multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and others.
Infracost is a cost estimation tool that generates cost estimates for Terraform projects, which is crucial for budget planning and cost optimization, especially in cloud environments where resource costs can vary significantly.
API for IaaC: At least for Pulumi, it appears not all IPv6 settings are configurable. For example, I could not retrieve IPv6 automatically in the same way as IPv4 via Elastic IP, or I could not configure ICMPv6 ACL (a similar issue is reported in the Terraform repository).
Terragrunt is a Terraform wrapper, designed to fill in the gaps when it comes to large scale Terraform configurations.
Terratest is a Go library that provides tools and patterns for testing infrastructure, with first-class support for Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, and more. It's used to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.
Project mention: OpenTofu 1.7.0 is out with State Encryption, Dynamic Provider-defined Functions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-30None of these are a replacement of Terraform Cloud (recently rebranded to HCP Terraform). For example, when you create a PR, it could affect multiple workspaces. The new experimental version of TFC/TFE (I refuse to call it HCP!) implements Stacks, which is something like a workflow, and links one workspace output to other workspace inputs. None of the open-source solutions, including the paid Digger [0], support this - only the paid one, such as Spacelift [1] (which is the closest to TFC if you ask me). Having a monorepo of Terraform is a common design pattern, so, if I change an embedded module, it could trigger changes it many workspaces. As far as I know, Atlantis [2] can't really help in this case.
By the way, the reason I singled-out Spacelift is due to its quality, and the great Terraform provider it has. Scalr [3], for example, has a really low-quality Terraform provider. I extensively use the hashicorp/tfe provider to manage TFC itself.

Project mention: Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23Founder of coder (https://github.com/coder/coder) here. We choose Terraform as our provisioning layer so that users can provision full blown VMs as their development environment.
We have many teams using GPUs with Coder for ML workloads but doing GUI/Game remote development where interactivity is essential remains elusive.
3. tfsec: https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec tfsec uses a suite of security checks to scan your Terraform templates, helping to identify potential security issues before infrastructure is deployed.
Project mention: Steampipe: Dynamically query APIs, code and more with SQL | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-04

(I’m one of the authors.)
This project shows how to apply more complex patterns popular in business applications while staying true to the Go ideas, and not copying them blindly from Java.
In the Go community, you’ll often hear people say „just keep things simple” beats all patterns and is all you need. This may be true if you write a CLI tool or a small library, but if you have a team maintaining a big application, some patterns are super helpful.
TFLint is a Terraform linter focused on possible errors, best practices, and style conventions in your Terraform code.
2. Terrascan: https://github.com/tenable/terrascan Terrascan detects security vulnerabilities and compliance violations across your IaC. Supports multiple cloud providers, ensuring that your infrastructure complies with security best practices.
Documentation is really important, so having a README.md file inside your Terraform repository that explains how to use the automation (including descriptions of variables and outputs) really help in understanding what has been implemented. To easily generate the description of variables and outputs, you can leverage tfdocs.

Driftctl is an open-source Terraform drift detection tool that tracks and warns about infrastructure drift. Driftctl scans your infrastructure, compares it with your IaC configurations (like Terraform), and reports discrepancies.
> DNS without CGO works perfectly
It does not. I know this because it impacts my daily work and the work of others. Honestly if you could make my day and go figure out exactly what's going wrong with the pure go DNS implementation it would make my life alot simpler and I wouldn't have to maintain shell scripts that update etc/hosts to hard code in ipv4 addresses for the APIs I access with terraform.
