There’s a lot wrong here, but the fact the author is upset there’s no confirmation for an API call makes me question if they should have any credentials, never mind staging

New comment by jaxxstorm in "Why are we templating YAML? (2019)"

Author of the post here.

It's always been relatively shocking to me that this is still relevant 4 years after I wrote it. Helm is as Ubiquitous as ever, despite attempts to replace it with Jsonnet, Cue and programming languages.

I've personally moved on from Jsonnet and would recommend Pulumi to anyone experiencing this problem.

New comment by jaxxstorm in "A more mature take on stateless Terraform"

jaxxstorm — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 01:23:59 +0000

Every single person who has this "you don't need state" take on IaC seems to be missing one key point.

They haven't built it, because it's really really hard to do.

New comment by jaxxstorm in "OpenTF announces fork of Terraform"

jaxxstorm — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 17:50:47 +0000

Terraform was (and I assume currently, OpenTF) under an MPL license, which is not currently compatible with the approved licenses that the CNCF supports: https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/allowed-third-p...

For them to get accepted into the CNCF would require relicensing a large amount of MPL work. What's always been confusing to me about Hashicorp's change and any subsequent relicense of OpenTF is that I know for a fact not everyone who contributed code to Terraform signed the CLA and allowed permission to relicense.

I suspect if OpenTF tries to relicense to a more permissive license like Apache 2 (rather than less in the case of BSL) license we might see some fireworks.

this is absolutely not the experience we have when customers migrate to Pulumi, and I spend all day helping users undergo that transition.
