For context, in case you don’t have kids (therefor you probably don’t watch Bluey), the family in the car (the Heelers) was selling their house to move for a job but ultimately, the dad (Bandit) decided staying at their house with family was more important. As a final act of demonstration, he lifts the for-sale sign out of the ground and throws it onto the street, with emotional montage music playing in the background.

Basically the meme being, I reject this and I’ll figure out another way.

Thankfully historical Hashicorp code has been permissively licensed and we have awesome forks like opentofu and openbao.

IBM owns Red Hat right? Which owns Ansible… Big blue trying to take over the IoC space.

I think they’re just trying to take over. But yes.

Yeah, I think they meant IaC. IoC I’ve usually seen as “inversion of control” which is something else.

What’s Hashicorp? I’ve looked at OpenTofu’s homepage and their “what’s OpenTofu” section let me with more questions than answers.

Formerly open source company with a few really great projects. Terraform being one of the best known. Vault is probably the second most popular unless you go back when vagrant was bigger.

Hey, Consul was pretty big for a while. But yeah, Terraform and Vault take the top two spots.

I was interested in Vagrant when it came out, but it was a touch too early in my career. I still don’t really understand why it exists or what problem it solves.

I think it was big for easy local dev setups in a VM. But I think docker has pretty much taken over a lot of those use cases since a build can happen in a container pretty trivially across platforms these days. Plus be ready to deploy with the same tools, which Vagrant didn’t cover.

Nobody knows. They don’t know either. They’re terrified that someone will figure it all out and they’ll have to pay back all that VC money. Hence the current crisis.

At least that’s my take.

IBM has a history of crushing stuff like this after a few years. Breath status: held, for now.

How exactly they do this? License bs?

Some example for this happening?

Sure, they killed CentOS a few years and then shut off their git to public access. CentOS successors such as Alma or Rocky now rely on ripping cloud images to access sources (because they still ship GPL software, so they must).

Just a recent example.
