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.
4. Trivy: https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy Trivy is a versatile tool that scans for vulnerabilities in your containers, and also checks for vulnerabilities in your application dependencies.
If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.
‍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.
did anyone adopt in production https://crossplane.io ?
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.
Certain checks may be possible with goss and the kgoss wrapper: https://github.com/goss-org/goss/tree/master/extras/kgoss
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.
AWS Copilot CLI is an open source command line interface for running containers on AWS App Runner, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and AWS Fargate.
Project mention: DNSControl: Synchronize your DNS to multiple providers from a simple DSL | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-02
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.

‍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.
Project mention: Generate Terraform code from your existing cloud infrastructure | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12
Terraboard is a web-based dashboard designed for visualizing and querying Terraform states. It offers several key features: an overview page that lists the most recently updated state files along with their activities; a detailed state page showing versions and resource attributes of state files; a search interface for querying resources by type, name, or attributes; and a diff interface for comparing state versions. Terraboard supports various remote state backend providers, including AWS S3 for state management and DynamoDB for locking, S3-compatible backends like MinIO, Google Cloud Storage, Terraform Cloud (remote), and GitLab. This makes it a versatile tool for managing and understanding Terraform state files.
‍Terratag is a tool designed to assign tags or labels to a complete collection of Terraform or Terragrunt files. It enables applying tags or labels to resources within AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Multy is an interesting project. Though such a project is bound to suffer from the downsides of all clouds and wont be able to gain from the advantages of a specific cloud service.
[Feature]Modules support filtering, while labels support customization of any format. by @FelixsJiang in #30
Like Steampipe's revolutionary approach, StackQL harnesses the power of SQL to query your resources seamlessly. Moreover, it empowers you to utilize SQL syntax for querying and creating resources.
Sure, but the providers for some of the biggest platforms are maintained by HashiCorp[1] - like the AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes providers[2], and it appears the Pulumi AWS provider (for example) _does_ use the Terraform AWS provider, even to this day[3].
1. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/registry/providers... - "official" providers are maintained by HashiCorp
2. https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers?tier=official - The filtered list of "official" providers maintained by HashiCorp
3. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/tree/008c4360bc9fc24303... - Just prove it to myself, I can see the `upstream` git submodule, which embeds pulumi/terraform-provider-aws, which is a fork of hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, although the repo was not created as a fork in Github, so it is not marked as a "fork" and so I have to compare commit histories to tell that it is a fork.
NOTE:
The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars.
The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or
since we started tracking (Dec 2020).
