Folks are starting to analyze the impact of Hashi’s license change on contributions. https://thenewstack.io/open-source-in-numbers-the-terraform-license-change-impact-on-contribution/

Open Source in Numbers: The Terraform License Change Impact on Contributionattachment image

The increase in pull requests after the license change might seem like a positive sign. However, the data reveals a nuanced picture.

Hey folks – Not sure if KCL has been brought up before or not, but one my team members (Kevin) surfaced it recently. In looking into it, I’m interested. It has things that I’d both be excited to use and concerned about being overly complex.

Has anyone used it before in their own environments? Any strong opinions?

I could see this type of configuration language being huge for an atmos v2. I see a lot of the functionality that Atmos has built (imports, schema, etc.) as being first class in KCL, which would reduce a lot of the custom implementation burden. Would be interested to hear thoughts on that!

This page shows how to use major KCL features, from variables and operators to schemas and libraries, with the assumption that you have already known how to program in another language. KCL is mainly inspired by Python, and knowing Python is very helpful for learning KCL.

It’s a spin out of Ant Group’s internal dev platform, it looks well designed with lots integrations to argo etc.

I don’t think it’s gotten much traction beyond Ant Group or China, but perhaps it will now that it was recently accepted to the CNCF sandbox.

Used by Ant, Huawei, Youzan, etc
Huawei uses this to emit Terraform HCL

I think one of the kcl devs has posted it about before - @Xu Pengfei

Hi, this is Peefy, one of the core maintainers of KCL. It’s great to meet you here and welcome to join our community . KCL has just become a sandbox project for CNCF and is committed to improving the configuration and policy writing experience of API layers such as Kubernetes, Terraform, etc. We will maintain KCL for a long time and improve the user experience of KCL and continuously simplify it. and we will continue to build the community’s KCL module library: https://artifacthub.io/packages/search?org=kcl&sort=relevance&page=1 . In addition, the majority of adopters and communities are actually from outside China, as you can see in GitHub discussions and issue lists. If you have any further interests or encounter any problems, please feel free to communicate with me through any channels (GitHub Discussion, Slack, etc.)

Looks like Quay.io https://status.quay.io/ is having an outage where image pulls are failing. This appears to be impacting popular projects like argocd as well. Anyone here experience something similar and have a recommended solution?

I think the summary should’ve included this paragraph too:
The countermeasure to the attacks we describe in this paper is
well known: implementations should validate signatures before
sending them. OpenSSH, the most common SSH implementation
we observed in this data, implements this countermeasure because
it uses OpenSSL to generate signatures, and OpenSSL has included
countermeasures against RSA fault attacks since 2001.
