What is OpenTofu Infrastructure
OpenTofu is an open-source fork of Terraform maintained by the Linux Foundation. It's a declarative infrastructure-as-code tool: you write HCL files describing your infrastructure (VMs, databases, load balancers), and OpenTofu provisions and manages them. OpenTofu is 100% compatible with Terraform, but community-owned instead of proprietary. It's ideal for teams that want infrastructure automation without vendor lock-in.
