Is it safe to migrate from Terraform to OpenTofu?

Yes, OpenTofu is a drop-in replacement for Terraform 1.5.x and earlier. This skill provides the precise steps to verify compatibility, migrate state, and update CI/CD pipelines safely.

How does this skill handle Windows environments?

The skill includes mandatory guidelines to ensure all file paths use backslashes on Windows, preventing common cross-platform script failures during infrastructure edits.

Will this skill create excessive documentation in my repo?

No, it follows strict hygiene guidelines to only update existing README.md files rather than creating new documentation unless specifically requested by the user.

Does this skill help with state encryption?

Absolutely. It provides detailed configurations for AES-GCM, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and GCP KMS to help you secure your infrastructure state files.

How does OpenTofu differ from Terraform?

OpenTofu is a truly open-source fork (MPL 2.0) of Terraform (BSL), maintaining 100% compatibility while adding community-requested features like client-side state encryption and early variable evaluation.
