Lightning Talk: Breaking New Ground with OpenTofu Exclusive Features
summary
OpenTofu adds four concrete features: State Encryption with AWSKMS and plan-file encryption lets local state and plans be encrypted via an encryption block; Early evaluation for backend and module sources evaluates variables and locals for backend selection (landed in 1.8); Exclude flag inverts target behavior to skip named resources/modules and their dependents (shipped in 1.9); Provider iteration with for_each lets one provider block spawn multi-region providers and resources, and modules scale automatically when regions are added.
