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

Where to start with a mess?
I would also strongly recommend an iterative triage process: don't feel that you need to solve everything all once. It's a huge amount of progress if you can get to a stage where you understand the relationships between services, have enough monitoring to identify failures, and can iteratively move services to more granular IAM policies even if it's all still running in one big account. Simply using a tool like terraformer or terraforming to move the manual configuration into an IaC workflow is an accomplishment, especially since it helps you both make changes more confidently and identify where new changes are still being made. Depending on the politics, that last part might be important: you'll be unpopular if you take away everyone's rights but you'll probably have better luck first nudging people to make them using a sensible flow rather than by hand.

Just starting out with terraform. Doubts wrt existing infra.
Haven't tried this but if I ever find myself in your situation I'll give it a spin https://github.com/dtan4/terraforming

Continuous Infrastructure Deployment with Terraform Cloud
There are a couple of tools to automate creating terraform configuration and prepopulate state from existing resources, like terraforming, terraformer or cf-terraforming. But it is still cumbersome and laborious and in my experience, it's usually way easier to just recreate everything within terraform from scratch wherever that's possible.
- Current infrastructure as code
