Their other offerings have very strong alternatives.
I use Terraform and will certainly consider going with OpenTofu in the next upgrade.

The BSL licensing thing has turned off a lot of the more hobbyist/tinkerer-centric users who really rocketed HashiCorp's products up the ladder in their orgs. It's a bit like Elasticsearch, I think—it's gotten big enough it won't be a quick death, but I don't see Hashi's products growing/dominating as much now as I did a couple years ago. (As an aside, I'd like to thank Mitchell for his work over the years, Vagrant e…
It's true that the licensing change is a turnoff, but Terraform redefined an industry. What's the alternative? (I'm hoping Mitchell is going to have an answer to that)
Or OpenTF if you want to same thing minus the licensing mess

That's not what he means when he says multi-cloud. He means his product supports multiple clouds, through terraforms providers, for example. Doing the same infra, across multiple clouds, is a different thing, it's not a Hashi thing.
> Doing the same infra, across multiple clouds, is a different thing, it's not a Hashi thing. Not sure about this. Here is what official site says: "Provisioning infrastructure across multiple clouds increases fault tolerance, allowing for more graceful recovery from cloud provider outages." https://www.terraform.io/use-cases/multi-cloud-deployment
To give you an analogy it would be like Firefox saying that they are "multi-OS" meaning that you can install Firefox if you have Windows and you can install Firefox if you have Linux. It doesn't mean that you must/should have Linux and Windows at the same time as a user.
Well done to the Hashicorp team for getting to where they are now - by building something new and useful, and by fundamentally not being greedy.

Nomad will be there when managed k8s gets too expensive. I was looking at it seriously last year for on prem. I chickend put bcz I didn't want to be the only person on my team that understood it. We still don't have a solution, but nomad will be there for when we are ready to progress, regardless of the license.
Why would managed k8s get more expensive?
Mitchell is the only person I can think of who went through the cycle of tinkerer/IC -> founder -> CXO and then back to IC in his own company. Also, his writings on Zig has been tremendously helpful for someone like me who is curious about it. Huge respect from a fellow IC!
We've gone full circle! I originally launched Vagrant here on HN in 2010, which was at the top of HN very briefly for the day. Now here I am 14 years later witnessing my departure post in that very same spot. A strange experience! Thanks for the support over the years. A lot of the initial community for the projects I helped start came from here.
Thank you for all you've created.
Vagrant is such an awesome tool. It’s been about a decade since I’ve used it in any capacity, but remember being wowed in my first internship when I could just spin up a VM like nothing. Best of luck, Mitchell!
Only reason I've used them is because someone at work set it up and left.
