Title: Navigating Terraform’s BSL: OpenTofu and Beyond for AWS

Talk description:
In August 2023, HashiCorp’s controversial switch to the little used Business Source License (BSL) for Terraform ignited discussions in the AWS user community about the future of open source IaC software. This talk dives into the implications for those using Terraform to provision their AWS infrastructure and explores the newly emerged OpenTofu fork. We’ll break down the BSL’s impact and take a look at what’s involved with migrating to OpenTofu. Finally, we’ll tackle the key question: is it worth switching to OpenTofu?
