Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Self-service infrastructure as code
We stumbled upon a project for maintaining Terraform with CRDs that we could deploy with Helm. That project is now called Tofu-Controller - another WeaveWorks project, so it integrated great with our existing Flux setup.

Disaster Recovery for AWS EKS Infra
Weave's TF-Controller, which also has fewer bugs, much better adoption, and it looks like it's actually being developed by someone. But requires a weird argocd <-> flux interop boilerplate. It's a "controller for flux" and not a Kubernetes controller, and I don't really get such ambiguous targeting , but meh...

Migrate from terragrunt to terraform
Wrt tools, I wanted to integrate terraform with Flux thanks to their tf-controller. Conciling the core gitops features with terraform would be great imho.

My recently deployed media apps in ArgoCD, migrating from Terraform.
I'm using Flux instead of Argo which has support for running terraform from a given Git Repo or OCI artifact so essentially I still fall back on Terraform when needed and it's applied via GitOps.

MySQL operators without the cluster
tf-controller which is integrated with Flux GitOps and reconciles Terraform files in a control loop

Automate your Terraform using GitOps with Flux
While searching for alternatives for running Terraform using Kubernetes, I found several controllers and operators, but none that I felt had as much potential as the tf-controller from Weaveworks. We are already using Flux as our GitOps tool, and the tf-controller works by utilizing some of the core functionality from Flux, and has a custom resource for Terraform deployments. The source controller takes care of fetching our modules, the kustomize controllers apply the Terraform resources, and then the controller spin up static pods (called runners) that runs your Terraform commands.

2022 was a great year for GitOps
For us, GitOps is a vital part of how we operate, and it is the magic sauce that fuels our platform offering. Not only do we use it for application deployments, but by utilizing the Weaveworks tf-controller, we can create services using Terraform to automate our infrastructure deployments.

Terraform to deploy and KEDA to scale - will it work?
Some further research brought me to Weaveworks' TF-Controller which appears to be able to do what I want at least for the initial deployment step. Flux CD (also by Weaveworks) integrates with KEDA now, so it would be great if it could also integrate with KEDA to manage terraform-deployed Azure resources.

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.

Maybe terraformer could help. I never tried it personally . https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer
