One of the longest-lived GUI operating systems in the world has its origins as an emergency project – specifically the means by which Acorn planned to rescue the original Archimedes operating system.

The Terraform Registry is a place where one can find different providers and modules (re-usable Terraform configurations) and use them with Terraform.
