How does this skill assist with state encryption?

It provides detailed configuration patterns for AES-GCM and cloud-native KMS integration, enabling secure, client-side encryption for your infrastructure state files.

Can I use this skill to set up CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. The skill includes optimized configuration examples for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps specifically tailored for OpenTofu environments.

What are the main advantages of OpenTofu over Terraform?

Key advantages include its true open-source MPL 2.0 license, community-driven roadmap, and exclusive features like state encryption and early variable evaluation.

Is OpenTofu fully compatible with my existing Terraform code?

Yes, OpenTofu is designed as a drop-in replacement for Terraform 1.5.x and maintains compatibility with HCL syntax, providers, and most module structures.
