Top 23 Go infrastructure-as-code Projects

  • terraform

    Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

    • Project mention: Why CISA Is Warning CISOs About a Breach at Sisense | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-11

    State Encryption was one of those long requested features[0] (I had it on my ideas list for years[1]) that Hashicorp didn't have much incentive to build. I don't think it has to with distancing opentofu as such, but the opentofu team prioritizing the right things that customers actually need.

  • digger

    Digger is an open source IaC orchestration tool. Digger allows you to run IaC in your existing CI pipeline ⚡️

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Should we build support for more CI platforms, or features for Actions? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03

    Currently, Github Actions is de-facto the only fully supported CI platform in Digger, we’ve been building it as a CI-agnostic tool (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger) from get go. We keep getting requests to support more CI systems on our community slack and over Github issues (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger/issues/81).

    Unlike other automation tools for Terraform, Digger doesn’t run jobs on the server; instead it uses your CI (like Actions) as a compute backend. This is more secure and also much cheaper if you use your own runners in your CI.

    But each CI and each VCS is ever so slightly different; and we are now at a crossroads - Should we build support for more CI platforms, or more features for GitHub Actions? We’d love any thoughts/inputs!

  • driftctl

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.

  • Selefra

    The open-source policy-as-code software that provides analysis for Multi-Cloud and SaaS environments, you can get insight with natural language (powered by OpenAI).

    • Project mention: A Better Version Is Released - Selefra v0.2.3 | /r/Selefra | 2023-07-03

  • pulumi-aws

    An Amazon Web Services (AWS) Pulumi resource package, providing multi-language access to AWS

    • Project mention: HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-10

    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.
