"If I'm not mistaken, Atlantis runs into its own instance which can lead to different issues:Parallel jobs may slow down the machineCredentials additions need a server restart (except if you use a credential manager which may lead to unexpected secret sharing.Easier to manage WIF cloud.google.com/blog/products/... with OpenTaco as there is not a single dedicated machine (you get the point)"

“OpenTaco is an open-source alternative to Terraform Cloud. It makes it easy to run terraform plan and apply in the CI / CD platform you already have, such as Github Actions."

"Opt for GitOps to streamline infrastructure provisioning. This entails storing templates in a Git repository and triggering provisioning based on Git events, like opening a PR or merging to the main branch. This approach offers a clear and predictable representation of your infrastructure.
When it comes to tools, consider utilizing Terraform or Opentofu in conjunction with OpenTaco to leverage GitOps principles. Additionally, for workloads running on a K8S cluster, leverage Kubernetes operator manifests. These describe the infrastructure you want to provision and can be bundled with other app-related Kubernetes manifests within a Helm chart. This approach ensures seamless management of both application and infrastructure changes."

"You can use a CD tool like OpenTaco or Atlantis (I prefer the former) with GitHub, it will produce a plan in the PR comments which you can approve via a reply, that way you have a way to inspect the plan before releasing it.
I would use OpenTaco, and only release off master/main but it really depends on your set up, how complex your TF is and how well suited it is for Cl.
Another alternative is having automated CD to a staging env first via say a develop branch, then merge to main to release out to prod, but were veering into gitflow which is yuck. Anyway, I'm rambling, try OpenTaco or Atlantis."

"OpenTaco runs terraform natively in existing CI/CD pipelines. It is secure and cost-effective as cloud access secrets aren't shared with any third parties and it doesn't require purchasing any additional compute just to run a terraform. OpenTaco works with any Cl and any cloud provider."
