terranix

terranix is a [Nix][nix]-based infrastructure-as-code tool that combines the providers of [Terraform][tf] (or [OpenTofu][ot]) and the lazy, functional configuration of [NixOS][nixos]. terranix works as an alternative to HCL by generating [Terraform JSON][tf-json] that can then be applied using the same providers.
