Terraform, Vault, Nomad etc by HashiCorp moving away from Open Source
Like many other companies, HashiCorp has dropped the open source approach that gave its products their start for the source-available Business Source License (BSL).
- HashiCorp is moving its products previously licensed as Open Source away from it to Business Source License (BSL) moving forward
- Terraform is a popular Infrastructure as Code tool used for provisioning cloud resources like AWS, Azure among others
- Terraform version 1.5.5 and earlier are still open source
- there is a push for a community maintained open source fork if this decision is not reversed, OpenTF
Gruntwork response on the problem with BSL

- Gruntwork is a creator of the tool Terragrunt which is an open source wrapper around Terraform to provide some additional tools for it

We were considering Vault, I guess we'll look into alternatives now, are there any decent Free Software ones in the first place?
ive not done secrets management before but i came across this list on hackernews, a few non-cloud ones use open source license https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37133054#37151218
but another user there have mentioned that while most of them integrate with Kubernetes and AWS, short lived DB credentials are not in any of those listed
I'm not an infra dev, but a previous project used SOPS and it seemed alright
I've been using Infisical recently and I like it a lot.
