5 alternatives to terraform

hashicorp/terraform — Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edit (50,086 stars, BUSL-1.1, infra, dev-tools, database).

These are the closest projects in the JustClaw-It index that we serve licence-cleared code from, ranked by relevance and by our code-quality score (1–10, the mean over each repo's graded components: completeness, code quality, deployability, reusability, strategic value). JustClaw-It does not serve code from hashicorp/terraform itself (licence class: non-commercial), so these alternatives are the licence-cleared route.
