Terraformer

Build Status Go Report Card AUR package

A CLI tool that generates tf/json and tfstate files based on existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform).

Table of Contents

Capabilities

  1. Generate tf/json + tfstate files from existing infrastructure for all supported objects by resource.
  2. Remote state can be uploaded to a GCS bucket.
  3. Connect between resources with terraform_remote_state (local and bucket).
  4. Save tf/json files using a custom folder tree pattern.
  5. Import by resource name and type.
  6. Support terraform 0.12 (for terraform 0.11 use v0.7.9).

Terraformer uses Terraform providers and is designed to easily support newly added resources. To upgrade resources with new fields, all you need to do is upgrade the relevant Terraform providers.

Import current state to Terraform configuration from a provider

Usage:
   import [provider] [flags]
   import [provider] [command]

  -f, --filter strings        google_compute_firewall=id1:id2:id4
  -h, --help                  help for google
  -O, --output string         output format hcl or json (default "hcl")

  -p, --path-pattern string   {output}/{provider}/ (default "{output}/{provider}/{service}/")
      --projects strings
  -z, --regions strings       europe-west1, (default [global])
  -r, --resources strings     firewalls,networks or * for all services

Filtering

Filters are a way to choose which resources terraformer imports. It’s possible to filter resources by its identifiers or attributes. Multiple filtering values are separated by :. If an identifier contains this symbol, value should be wrapped in ' e.g. --filter=resource=id1:'project:dataset_id'. Identifier based filters will be executed before Terraformer will try to refresh remote state.

Resource ID

Filtering is based on Terraform resource ID patterns. To find valid ID patterns for your resource, check the import part of the Terraform documentation.

Example usage:

terraformer import aws --resources=vpc,subnet --filter=aws_vpc=myvpcid --regions=eu-west-1

Will only import the vpc with id myvpcid. This form of filters can help when it’s necessary to select resources by its identifiers.

Planning

The plan command generates a planfile that contains all the resources set to be imported. By modifying the planfile before running the import command, you can rename or filter the resources you’d like to import.

The rest of subcommands and parameters are identical to the import command.

$ terraformer plan google --resources=networks,firewalls --projects=my-project --regions=europe-west1-d
(snip)

Saving planfile to generated/google/my-project/terraformer/plan.json

After reviewing/customizing the planfile, begin the import by running import plan.

$ terraformer import plan generated/google/my-project/terraformer/plan.json

Resource structure

Terraformer by default separates each resource into a file, which is put into a given service directory.

The default path for resource files is {output}/{provider}/{service}/{resource}.tf and can vary for each provider.

It’s possible to adjust the generated structure by:

  1. Using --compact parameter to group resource files within a single service into one resources.tf file
  2. Adjusting the --path-pattern parameter and passing e.g. --path-pattern {output}/{provider}/ to generate resources for all services in one directory

It’s possible to combine --compact --path-pattern parameters together.

Installation

From source:

  1. Run git clone <terraformer repo>
  2. Run GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor
  3. Run go build -v for all providers OR build with one provider go run build/main.go {google,aws,azure,kubernetes and etc}
  4. Run terraform init against an init.tf file to install the plugins required for your platform. For example, if you need plugins for the google provider, init.tf should contain:
provider "google" {}

Or alternatively

  1. Copy your Terraform provider’s plugin(s) to folder ~/.terraform.d/plugins/{darwin,linux}_amd64/, as appropriate.

Use with AWS

Example:

 terraformer import aws --resources=vpc,subnet --connect=true --regions=eu-west-1 --profile=prod
 terraformer import aws --resources=vpc,subnet --filter=aws_vpc=vpc_id1:vpc_id2:vpc_id3 --regions=eu-west-1

Profiles support

AWS configuration including environmental variables, shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials), and shared config file (~/.aws/config) will be loaded by the tool by default. To use a specific profile, you can use the following command:

terraformer import aws --resources=vpc,subnet --regions=eu-west-1 --profile=prod

You can also provide no regions when importing resources:

terraformer import aws --resources=cloudfront --profile=prod

In that case terraformer will not know with which region resources are associated with and will not assume any region. That scenario is useful in case of global resources (e.g. CloudFront distributions or Route 53 records) and when region is passed implicitly through environmental variables or metadata service.

Global services

AWS services that are global will be imported without specified region even if several regions will be passed. It is to ensure only one representation of an AWS resource is imported.

List of global AWS services:

  • budgets
  • cloudfront
  • iam
  • organization
  • route53
  • waf

Attribute filters

Attribute filters allow filtering across different resource types by its attributes.

terraformer import aws --resources=ec2_instance,ebs --filter="Name=tags.costCenter;Value=20000:'20001:1'" --regions=eu-west-1

Will only import AWS EC2 instances along with EBS volumes annotated with tag costCenter with values 20000 or 20001:1. Attribute filters are by default applicable to all resource types although it’s possible to specify to what resource type a given filter should be applicable to by providing Type=<type> parameter. For example:

terraformer import aws --resources=ec2_instance,ebs --filter=Type=ec2_instance;Name=tags.costCenter;Value=20000:'20001:1' --regions=eu-west-1

Will work as same as example above with a change the filter will be applicable only to ec2_instance resources.

Due to fact API Gateway generates a lot of resources, it’s possible to issue a filtering query to retrieve resources related to a given REST API by tags. To fetch resources related to a REST API resource with a tag STAGE and value dev, add parameter --filter="Type=aws_api_gateway_rest_api;Name=tags.STAGE;Value=dev".

SQS queues retrieval

Terraformer uses AWS ListQueues API call to fetch available queues. The API is able to return only up to 1000 queues and an additional name prefix should be passed to filter the list results. It’s possible to pass QueueNamePrefix parameter by environmental variable SQS_PREFIX.

Known issues

  • Terraform Kubernetes provider is rejecting resources with “:” characters in their names (as they don’t meet DNS-1123), while it’s allowed for certain types in Kubernetes, e.g. ClusterRoleBinding.
  • Because Terraform flatmap uses “.” to detect the keys for unflattening the maps, some keys with “.” in their names are being considered as the maps.
  • Since the library assumes empty strings to be empty values (not “0”), there are some issues with optional integer keys that are restricted to be positive.

Developing

Terraformer was built so you can easily add new providers of any kind.

Process for generating tf/json + tfstate files:

  1. Call GCP/AWS/other api and get list of resources.
  2. Iterate over resources and take only the ID (we don’t need mapping fields!).
  3. Call to provider for readonly fields.
  4. Call to infrastructure and take tf + tfstate.

Infrastructure

  1. Call to provider using the refresh method and get all data.
  2. Convert refresh data to go struct.
  3. Generate HCL file - tf/json files.
  4. Generate tfstate files.

All mapping of resource is made by providers and Terraform. Upgrades are needed only for providers.

GCP compute resources

For GCP compute resources, use generated code from providers/gcp/gcp_compute_code_generator.

To regenerate code:

go run providers/gcp/gcp_compute_code_generator/*.go

Terraformer Benefits
  • Simpler to add new providers and resources - already supports AWS, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes, and Openstack. Terraforming supports only AWS.
  • Better support for HCL + tfstate, including updates for Terraform 0.12.
  • If a provider adds new attributes to a resource, there is no need change Terraformer code - just update the Terraform provider on your laptop.
  • Automatically supports connections between resources in HCL files.
Comparison

Terraforming gets all attributes from cloud APIs and creates HCL and tfstate files with templating. Each attribute in the API needs to map to attribute in Terraform. Generated files from templating can be broken with illegal syntax. When a provider adds new attributes the terraforming code needs to be updated.

Terraformer instead uses Terraform provider files for mapping attributes, HCL library from Hashicorp, and Terraform code.

Look for S3 support in terraforming here and official S3 support Terraforming lacks full coverage for resources - as an example you can see that 70% of S3 options are not supported:
