How does Terraback authenticate with my cloud accounts?
Terraback operates on a principle of zero trust andnever stores your cloud credentials. It securely uses the authentication you've already configured in your local environment via standard, official CLI tools.
What's included with the Professional license?
The Professional license is a one-time purchase that gives you lifetime access to all 50+ cloud services, advanced dependency mapping, multi-account scanning, parallel processing, and priority support. You keep all generated Terraform code forever.
Can I use Terraback in CI/CD pipelines?
Yes, absolutely. Terraback is designed for automation. You can install and run it in any CI/CD environment like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc. For authentication in these environments, we recommend using short-lived credentials, which Terraback fully supports.
How is Terraback different from terraform import?
The terraform import command only pulls resources into your Terraform state file; it does not generate the corresponding HCL configuration code. Terraback does the hard work of actually writing the clean, production-ready.tf files for you, including discovering dependencies between resources.
