Terraformer is an open-source command-line utility developed by WazeSRE that automatically reverse-engineers live cloud infrastructure into ready-to-use Terraform configuration files, enabling operations teams to adopt Infrastructure-as-Code practices on environments that were originally created manually. By querying provider APIs, the tool maps running resources—such as virtual machines, load balancers, databases, networking rules, security groups, and IAM policies—into standard .tf and .tfstate artifacts that can immediately be placed under version control and iterated through normal Terraform workflows. The software is particularly valuable for organizations undergoing cloud migration, audits, disaster-recovery documentation, or multi-account consolidation, because it eliminates the tedious and error-prone process of hand-writing configurations for hundreds of interdependent assets. Support is embedded for all major public clouds (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) as well as for Kubernetes, GitHub, Datadog, and other SaaS platforms, allowing entire application stacks to be exported in a single pass. The current release, version 0.8.24, introduces incremental performance improvements and additional resource coverage while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier state formats. Since its first public appearance, only one major line—0.8.x—has been published, reflecting a focus on stability rather than frequent rewrites. Generated code is fully modular, so users can split monolithic exports into layered directories or combine them with existing Terraform modules without conflict. Terraformer is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
