About:
Terraformer is a CLI tool that reverse engineers existing cloud infrastructure into Terraform configuration files. It supports multiple cloud providers including AWS, GCP, and Azure, enabling infrastructure-as-code adoption for legacy resources. The tool scans cloud resources and generates HCL code, making it easier to manage and version control existing infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Multi-cloud provider support (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
  • Automatic generation of Terraform HCL configuration
  • Resource filtering by region, service, or specific resources
  • Import functionality for existing infrastructure state
  • Support for multiple output formats
Use Cases:
  • Converting existing cloud infrastructure to Terraform for IaC adoption
  • Disaster recovery planning by codifying infrastructure state
  • Auditing and documenting cloud resource configurations
  • Migrating from manual cloud management to infrastructure-as-code
Alternatives:
  • former2 – Former2 is web-based with GUI, while Terraformer is CLI-focused and more provider-diverse
  • k2tf – k2tf is Kubernetes-specific, whereas Terraformer supports broader cloud infrastructure
