Is cloudformer code compatible with Terraform?  Do you have any input on Terracognita project?

Yes cloudformer and Terragorm both can generate json files. so both are compatible. about Terracognita, i have no idea.

Just to add a little bit of feedback regarding Terracognita.

It is still under development, though doesn't seem hugely active.

Not all resources are retrieved.

I've had a few bugs fixed recently (May/June 2020) (still not good enough in Go to do them myself).

It certainly has promise.

In hindsight, I think Cloudformation would have been a better option, especially as AWS provide the "dump my account to code" feature already.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.

Have there been some tools appearing that will translate an existing cloud infrastructure into json code?

Tools to gather metadata for terraform from existing AWS VPC.

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, is human-readable text used when transmitting data objects consisting of attribute:value pairs between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON, while it is originally derived from JavaScript, is a language-independent data format. Code for parsing and generating JSON data is available in many programming languages.
