Dimitri Vlachos, chief marketing officer for Spacelift, said that as OpenTofu continues to gain traction as an alternative to HashiCorp’s Terraform IaC tool, more DevOps teams now need to be able to observe the code being used to, for example, configure cloud infrastructure. The Run Observability platform provided by Spacelift can show within seconds why an OpenTofu run is slow or failing and, just as importantly, how to fix it, he noted.
Spacelift is leveraging the OpenTelemetry Protocol to collect traces that are then checked against a set of rules and the run history of an IT platform to provide those insights. That ability to generate traces was just recently added to OpenTofu.
