Terraforming Azure, where to start?
I'm planning to use the official landing zone module developped by MSFT, but it's a big bite. https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-caf-enterprise-scale/wiki

Build greenfield Azure landing zones with Terraform in less than 1 hour
u/Ok-Inspection3886 Great question! Under the hood we use the Azure landing zones terraform module which is recommended by Azure when using Terraform if you're interested in "Platform Landing Zones". The module itself deploys custom policies and also allows users to add additional custom policies relatively easy.
-
What problems do you have when building landing zones?
Honestly, https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-caf-enterprise-scale does a pretty good job at deploying a landing zone-architecture, is active and maintained. I wouldnt try to re-invent the work Microsoft are doing themself but rather contribute to that project and build tools around the existing module. An issue I often hear from people is that they have a hard time visualizing which policies are added on parent management groups and how to exclude/adjust them.

Engineers Who Redesigned and Successfully Rebuilt an Already Established, Painfully Disorganized and Manually Built Cloud Infrastructure - How did you do it?
To add to the links, azure released their own version of terraformer (I've never used it myself but if your deployments are on azure it may fill the gaps where terraformer fails) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-tools-blog/announcing-azure-terrafy-and-azapi-terraform-provider-previews/ba-p/3270937 also https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-caf-enterprise-scale/tree/main covers creating terraform to create stuff like policies not managed by the standard azurerm terraform module. Best of luck!

Cosmos DB secure Network Configuration
The azure environment I'm working on has the Terraform Module for Cloud Adoption Framework Enterprise-scale implemented, so how is the right pattern to connect the cosmos DB with the Hub VNet and also be able to receive data from external sources?

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
Terraformer is a CLI tool developed by Google that generates Terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform), simplifying the process of adopting Terraform in existing environments and speeding up the initial setup process. Terraformer supports multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and others.

Terraformer + refactoring with 'moved' blocks
Looking into efficient ways to import existing infrastructure. Using Terraformer to get the everything into Terraform and then refactoring into modules, for_each, etc. using moved blocks seems like it would be a good approach. Refactoring them to use existing modules from providers will take a little work and likely going back and forth with terraform plan, and assuming many things won't translate straight across because of what resources a module might be creating and how they are creating them.

The Future of Terraform: ClickOps
We had thought about the ability to convert HCL to Go, but not much thought in querying existing infra to generate HCL (like terraformer). If you want to experiment building on top of Lingon then please go ahead! I’d be happy to help provide the context from Lingon.
-
How do you glue Terraform resources together?
If "ClickOps" is your starting point, as you mention, you could try creating a new scratch cloud provider account, do all your "ClickOps", then use a TF export tool (e.g., Terraformer) to see the exported TF resources to find all the references to other TF resources in the cloud resource dependency chain.

Strategies for converting an existing deployment to IaC?
I haven't worked with any of the ones that purport to work with AWS, but a quick Google shows terraformer and Terracognita as options - maybe look into trying those out?
-
Migration to gcp from aws.
This maybe a bit more complicated if you're not into coding/terraform but I'd use terraformer to convert all of your infrastructure from implementation to code while in AWS, then switch providers and with a bit of jiggly of the code implement your infra into gcs as IaC and keep it that way if/when you switch again.

Quick terraform noob question about the tfstate
Maybe terraformer could help. I never tried it personally . https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer
- Possible to backup entire Okta configuration?

How do I convert my CloudFormation template into a Terraform file?
I've been wondering if this tool is any good. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer/blob/master/docs/aws.md

Migrate from terragrunt to terraform
If you've to write the code (I assumed you just needed to reorganize it without TG) maybe consider https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer
