Ask HN: Terraform is getting a FOSS fork, what about other HashiCorp tools?
The recent license change from MPL to a non-FOSS license was discussed to great extend on HN over the past week [0]. As a result, some companies with infrastructure&#x2F;devops focused products announced that they plan to creating a FOSS fork of Terraform, as it is arguably the most popular tool in HashiCorps toolshed. [1]<p>But I was wondering if anyone was interested in or is planning to fork some of the remaining tools in the HC stack. I&#x27;m personally interested in keeping Packer going, as it currently seems to be the only solution that can create what HC calls &quot;golden images&quot; in an user friendly way. An alternative to Packer would be shoehorning something with Ansible, which I think would be rather tedious.<p>I was hoping that there maybe was some ongoing development already, but of which the greater HN community wasn&#x27;t aware of, so maybe this post could be used to spread some awareness.<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37081306
