Comparing OpenTofu vs. Terraform for existing infrastructure? Learn why this operational shift is about more than just licensing. Explore migration paths, state management continuity, and how to transition without disrupting production reliability.

In cloud-native environments, infrastructure is in constant flux. Teams move fast, leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), ephemeral resources, and automation to iterate quickly. But speed brings a cost: configuration drift. The solution isn’t to slow teams down—it’s to treat drift as a part of modern delivery. That means building practices for detection, context, and remediation directly into how infrastructure is shipped. Drift becomes just another signal to act on—not a hidden liability.
