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

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

Terraform Tips & Tricks: Managing Large-Scale Azure Resource Imports
Aztfy is a tool developed by Microsoft that allows you to bulk import resources, it has some configuration so you can specify what to import, the names to import and so on. After spending some time with the tool, I quickly realized it may be a no-go. The problem I had with this tool is twofold:

Azure Terrafy: Import and Manage Existing Azure Resources with Terraform
Azure Terrafy is a tool that makes it easy to import your existing Azure resources into Terraform modules. Suppose you're an Azure user looking to manage your infrastructure with the power of Terraform. In that case, Azure Terrafy can save you time and effort by automating the process of incorporating your existing resources into your Terraform configuration. This is especially useful for those who have a "brownfield" environment, where their infrastructure already has a number of existing resources that need to be brought under the management of Terraform. It can save you a lot of time and effort. Without Terrafy, you would need to manually create a Terraform configuration file for each resource you want to manage. This can be tedious and error-prone, especially if you have many resources.

terraforming existing infra
If that existing infrastructure happens to be in Azure, look into aztfy, it's helped me build some structures to replace first-generation hand-deployed resources.

How do I use TF only for new stuff in Azure (leave stuff, that was created in the portal before, like it was)?
https://github.com/Azure/aztfy I've done this, as the guy above says it's all flat but perfectly readable.

- My tfstate got messed up and my most recent correct backup is incomplete. How do I get terraform to recursively add Azure RGs and their resources?
- converting existing infrastructure using azure functions from the arm template into terraform
What are some alternatives?
terracognita - Reads from existing public and private cloud providers (reverse Terraform) and generates your infrastructure as code on Terraform configuration
aztfmove - Simple tool to move Azure resources based on Terraform state
former2 - Generate CloudFormation / Terraform / Troposphere templates from your existing AWS resources.
terrascan - Detect compliance and security violations across Infrastructure as Code to mitigate risk before provisioning cloud native infrastructure.
terraforming - Export existing AWS resources to Terraform style (tf, tfstate) / No longer actively maintained
aztfexport - A tool to bring existing Azure resources under Terraform's management
gardener - Kubernetes-native system managing the full lifecycle of conformant Kubernetes clusters as a service on Alicloud, AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, vSphere, KubeVirt, Hetzner, EquinixMetal, MetalStack, and OnMetal with minimal TCO.
terrascan - Detect compliance and security violations across Infrastructure as Code to mitigate risk before provisioning cloud native infrastructure. [Moved to: https://github.com/accurics/terrascan]
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
aws2tf - aws2tf - automates the importing of existing AWS resources into Terraform and outputs the Terraform HCL code.
terratag - Terratag is a CLI tool that enables users of Terraform to automatically create and maintain tags across their entire set of AWS, Azure, and GCP resources
