I’ve been hinking about infrastructure as code tools. Skimmed the very surface of opentofu, looked at the list of alternatives.

I’m in need of something that is both, deployment automation and (implicit) documentation of the thing that I call “the zoo”. Namely:

• network definition
• machine definitions (VMs, containers) and their configuration
• inventory: keeping track of third party resources

Now I think about which tool would be the right one for the job while I’m still not 100% sure what the job is. I don’t like added complexity, it is quite possible this could become a dead end for me, if I spend more time wrangling the tool than I gain in the end.
