I would love to see a similar initiative with Vault and maybe Consul.

Maybe call it OpenVLT and OpenCNSL. Then we can wrap it in a larger OpenHC or OpenMoto umbrella of projects.

Especially with the integration points between Terraform, Vault, and Consul, those can be maintained better.

Hell, I would do it myself, it I had the connections and time to do it. I might still try if no one else does. I would model it after OpenTF



> OpenMoto

I dunno if you're trying to play on "hashimoto" but https://github.com/getmoto/moto#readme would be a prime name collision for any such "OpenMoto" name

But yes, please, to adopting Vault. I don't have a horse in the race about Consul but my suspicion is such an effort would only be worthwhile if trying to adopt Nomad, too, which I gravely doubt


I am very curious about the future of Nomad. It definitely has its place for some orgs and was exciting to see an alternative to k8s gaining traction.

I think this license change will hamper adoption and contribution when teams compare a foundation supported k8s vs a source available Nomad. I haven’t heard of anyone taking this on, but I’d love to keep my eyes on it if/when it happens.

It was intentional, but I was not aware of that project.

Consul is just a nice distributed KV store and Consul Templates integrate well with vault secrets.

It can also be used as a storage engine for Vault of needed.
