As we continue to evolve and expand the capabilities of FortiPath, we're exploring new avenues to ensure the project's sustainability and growth. One such avenue is the potential monetization of FortiPath by leveraging and maintaining a dedicated Terraform provider.
Why a Terraform Provider?
Terraform has become the de facto tool for infrastructure as code (IaC) and is widely adopted by organizations of all sizes. By offering a Terraform provider, we can tap into a vast ecosystem and cater to a broader audience, especially those who rely on Terraform for their infrastructure management.
Monetization Strategies:
Premium Provider Version: Offer a basic free version of the Terraform provider and a premium version with advanced features, better performance, or additional integrations.
Support and Maintenance Subscriptions: Offer subscription plans for dedicated support, regular updates, and guaranteed SLAs.
Training and Certification: Provide training sessions, workshops, and certification programs for professionals to master the FortiPath Terraform provider.
Custom Development: Offer custom development services for businesses that require specific features or integrations in the Terraform provider.
Partnerships: Collaborate with cloud providers or other IaC tool vendors to promote the FortiPath Terraform provider, potentially earning referral fees or shared revenue.
Benefits to the Community:
Standardization: A Terraform provider can help standardize the deployment and management of FortiPath across different environments.
Automation: Users can automate the provisioning and management of FortiPath resources, leading to efficiency and reduced manual errors.
Integration: Terraform's vast ecosystem allows for easy integration with other tools and platforms, enhancing FortiPath's capabilities.
Seeking Feedback:
We believe that this direction not only provides a potential revenue stream to support the project but also adds significant value to our users. We'd love to hear your thoughts:
Would you find value in a dedicated Terraform provider for FortiPath?
What features would you like to see in such a provider?
Do you have any concerns or suggestions regarding the monetization strategies mentioned?
Your feedback is invaluable as we chart the course for FortiPath's future. Let's build a more secure and efficient world together!
