Which is why it's all the more puzzling Google didn't spring for OpenTF here. They single-handedly could have proven it as the fork of choice but instead they're paying into HashiCorp's bad decision?
Google has a history of welcoming the product on their platform without taking ownership or responsibility for maintaining it. It does the same thing with Elastic, Confluent, and Redis. I’m guessing Hashicorp is deploying infrastructure on Google cloud on the customers’ behalf. It’s not costing Google anything because they’re not reselling it. AWS does something similar with it’s Marketplace, but customers prefer the AWS full-service product rather than adding it to their environment by network peering or deploying templates in their account.
