I am not only a big fan of hashicorp terraform. I'm also one of the early adopters of it. So this is my main go-to Infrastructure as a Code tool. However all the resources I use are supported by other IaaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK. You definitely got to use one to avoid loosing the track of resources you create.

Terraformer is a CLI tool developed by Google that generates Terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform), simplifying the process of adopting Terraform in existing environments and speeding up the initial setup process. Terraformer supports multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and others.
API for IaaC: At least for Pulumi, it appears not all IPv6 settings are configurable. For example, I could not retrieve IPv6 automatically in the same way as IPv4 via Elastic IP, or I could not configure ICMPv6 ACL (a similar issue is reported in the Terraform repository).
K3s is great, I use it on all of my personal clusters (here and here). It's lightweight and very easy to manage.
Terragrunt is a Terraform wrapper, designed to fill in the gaps when it comes to large scale Terraform configurations.
Terratest is a Go library that provides tools and patterns for testing infrastructure, with first-class support for Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, and more. It's used to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.
Project mention: OpenTofu 1.7.0 is out with State Encryption, Dynamic Provider-defined Functions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-30None of these are a replacement of Terraform Cloud (recently rebranded to HCP Terraform). For example, when you create a PR, it could affect multiple workspaces. The new experimental version of TFC/TFE (I refuse to call it HCP!) implements Stacks, which is something like a workflow, and links one workspace output to other workspace inputs. None of the open-source solutions, including the paid Digger [0], support this - only the paid one, such as Spacelift [1] (which is the closest to TFC if you ask me). Having a monorepo of Terraform is a common design pattern, so, if I change an embedded module, it could trigger changes it many workspaces. As far as I know, Atlantis [2] can't really help in this case.
By the way, the reason I singled-out Spacelift is due to its quality, and the great Terraform provider it has. Scalr [3], for example, has a really low-quality Terraform provider. I extensively use the hashicorp/tfe provider to manage TFC itself.

Project mention: Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23Founder of coder (https://github.com/coder/coder) here. We choose Terraform as our provisioning layer so that users can provision full blown VMs as their development environment.
We have many teams using GPUs with Coder for ML workloads but doing GUI/Game remote development where interactivity is essential remains elusive.
3. tfsec: https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec tfsec uses a suite of security checks to scan your Terraform templates, helping to identify potential security issues before infrastructure is deployed.
1. Checkov: https://github.com/bridgecrewio/checkov Checkov is a static code analysis tool that helps developers prevent cloud misconfigurations during the development phase by scanning Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and more.

(I’m one of the authors.)
This project shows how to apply more complex patterns popular in business applications while staying true to the Go ideas, and not copying them blindly from Java.
In the Go community, you’ll often hear people say „just keep things simple” beats all patterns and is all you need. This may be true if you write a CLI tool or a small library, but if you have a team maintaining a big application, some patterns are super helpful.
Project mention: Learning Go by examples: part 12 - Deploy Go apps in Go with CDK for Terraform (CDKTF) | dev.to | 2024-03-07At first I tested it to deploy an OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service (MKS) with a Node Pool. And step by step, it worked. I even created a Pull Request (PR) in the terraform-cdk repository to add it as an example ☺️.
TFLint is a Terraform linter focused on possible errors, best practices, and style conventions in your Terraform code.
2. Terrascan: https://github.com/tenable/terrascan Terrascan detects security vulnerabilities and compliance violations across your IaC. Supports multiple cloud providers, ensuring that your infrastructure complies with security best practices.
