OpenTofu Infrastructure as Code Repository

Overview

This repository contains Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates built using OpenTofu (a community-driven, open-source fork of Terraform).
OpenTofu enables teams to define, provision, and manage infrastructure using a declarative configuration language.

What is OpenTofu?

OpenTofu is an infrastructure provisioning tool that allows you to:

• Automate cloud resource creation and management
• Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
• Ensure consistency and repeatability across environments
• Work across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.)

It is fully open-source and designed to remain open, stable, and community-driven, unlike Terraform's recent licensing changes.
