terraformer
A CLI tool that generates Terraform configuration and state files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform).
What is terraformer?
Terraformer is a CLI tool that generates Terraform configuration and state files from existing infrastructure, effectively performing 'reverse Terraform'. It connects to cloud providers and services, enumerates resources, and produces the necessary HCL/JSON and tfstate files to bring those resources under Terraform management. This solves the problem of manually writing Terraform code for pre-existing infrastructure, accelerating infrastructure-as-code adoption.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and cloud platform teams managing infrastructure with Terraform who need to import existing resources or migrate from manual/other IaC tools.
Developers choose Terraformer for its extensive provider support, accurate state generation, and the ability to filter and plan imports, which significantly reduces the time and risk of manually recreating Terraform configurations for live environments.
