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
