Key Takeaways

Covers IAC fundamentals using OpenTofu and forjar features

Original Description

You learn IAC fundamentals — plan, apply, saved plans, JSON plans, resource lifecycle, refactoring, drift detection, policy gates, cross-config sharing, testing, and state security — by walking ten OpenTofu features next to their forjar equivalents. Forjar is a single Rust binary with state in Git as BLAKE3-hashed YAML, 17 crate dependencies, and ten falsifiable C1-C10 contracts asserted on every apply. Each module compares one OpenTofu feature (`terraform plan -out`, `terraform show -json`, `lifecycle`, `moved`, `-target`, `refresh-only`, `check`, `terraform_remote_state`, `.tftest.hcl`, `state_encryption`) against the forjar approach so you finish knowing the industry default and a concrete second tool.
