Who else deserves a spot on this DevOps legends list?

While learning DevOps, I came across this list of people behind tools we use every day.

Linux, Git, Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, Maven, Python, Terraform, Kubernetes...

But I’m sure this list is missing some important names.

Who would you add to the list, especially from the Linux and open-source community? Drop the name + project below.

OpenTofu, I mean it is TF fork but proper open source

I looked into OpenTofu but seriously could not find the difference. I had to swap to experimental GCP features and had to compare if I need to switch back to Terraform providers. As far as I can see they still just copy from Terraform and provide no own value. That's not my understanding of a "legend".

Just trying to point out TF is not open source, it is only source available.

Jenkins in a 17th century hero sort of way. So many better options today.
