#2Terraform's license change suddenly makes sense.

#3Wonder if they have to pay licensing fees to hashicorp for using terraform this way. It’s essentially replacing terraform cloud for GCP resources.

I haven't used Cloudformation in three years, how's it doing these days?

#6I figured something like this is what drove Hashicorp's licensing decision, but thought it would be Amazon.

I see a roughly even split of people using CFn, Terraform and (Python) CDK.
AWS shot themselves in the foot by making the Python version of CDK second-tier after Typescript; IaC is still done by DevOps people far more often than application people, and DevOps people use Python.
Another gripe is the number of services and new features which launch without CFn support, which also blocks CDK support; when Terraform supports a new platform feature before the vendors own tools do, that's a sign the product teams are being driven by the wrong metrics.

#8Licensing decision aside, I don’t feel a lot of sympathy for Hashicorp here. I think this is different than other scenarios where big MSP’s sell tools based 99% or open source software.
This service will largely be used for deployments on Google Cloud, for which Google invests a lot of development effort in maintaining their own provider. It’s not like there’s not already significant contribution from Google to the code base.

Idk if I buy this. I’m mostly a backend service developer, but my team manages our own infra using CDK and we love it. And we’re glad they used typescript as it’s a fantastic language.
