Terraback is a powerful infrastructure-as-code tool that automatically reverse-engineers your existing cloud infrastructure into clean, maintainable Terraform configurations. It discovers resources across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, maps their dependencies, and generates production-ready Terraform files in seconds.

Unlike Terraform's native import which requires manual resource-by-resource importing and writing configurations from scratch, Terraback:

• Automatically discovers all resources in your cloud accounts
• Generates complete Terraform configurations with all arguments
• Maps resource dependencies intelligently
• Handles complex relationships between resources
• Saves 90% of migration time compared to manual approaches
• Supports bulk operations across entire infrastructures

Terraback currently supports:

• AWS: 50+ services including EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, S3, IAM, and more
• Azure: 20+ services including VMs, Networks, Storage, AKS, and more
• Google Cloud: 15+ services including Compute, Networks, GKE, and more

We're continuously adding support for more services based on user demand.

Yes, Terraback is designed with security as a top priority:

• Runs locally on your machine - no data sent to external servers
• Uses read-only permissions - cannot modify your infrastructure
• No credentials stored - uses your existing cloud CLI authentication
• Machine fingerprinting - licenses tied to specific machines
• Offline validation - works without internet after activation

• Operating Systems: Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, CentOS 7+)
• Memory: Minimum 4GB RAM (8GB recommended for large infrastructures)
• Disk Space: 500MB for installation
• Cloud CLI Tools: AWS CLI, Azure CLI, or gcloud SDK (depending on your provider)
• Python: 3.8 or higher

Terraback uses your existing cloud CLI credentials:

# AWS
aws configure
terraback scan aws

# Azure
az login
terraback scan azure

# Google Cloud
gcloud auth login
terraback scan gcp

Simply run:

# Scan all resources in current AWS account
terraback scan aws

# Scan specific AWS region
terraback scan aws --region us-west-2

# Scan specific resource types
terraback scan aws --services ec2,rds,s3

# Generate Terraform files
terraback scan aws --output ./terraform-output

Terraback generates:

• Terraform HCL (.tf files) - Default, human-readable format
• Import blocks - For Terraform 1.5+ import functionality
• Import scripts - Shell scripts for state import
• Resource documentation - Markdown files with resource inventory

Terraback provides multiple approaches:

1. Generate import blocks (Terraform 1.5+):

terraback scan aws --use-import-blocks

2. Generate import scripts:

terraback scan aws --generate-imports

3. Import specific resources:

terraback scan aws --import-state

Yes, you can exclude resources using:

# Exclude by service
terraback scan aws --exclude ec2,rds

# Exclude specific resources
terraback scan aws --exclude-resources instance-id,bucket-name

• Early access to new features
• Professional tier features for testing
• Access to our Slack community
• 90-day beta access period

To join: terraback beta register

The Migration Pass license can be used on your development machine. CI/CD usage requires appropriate licensing based on your edition.

Common causes:

1. Insufficient permissions - Ensure read access to all services
2. Region restrictions - Check if scanning the correct region
3. Service limitations - Some resources may not be supported yet

Run with --debug flag for detailed diagnostics.

Terraback automatically detects and resolves most circular dependencies. For complex cases, the tool will generate resources with proper depends_on blocks.

For large infrastructures:

• Use --services flag to scan specific services only
• Use --region to limit to specific regions
• Use --parallel to increase concurrent operations (Migration Pass only)

• Email: support@terraback.io
• Beta Community Slack: Available for beta program members
• Website: Contact form at https://terraback.io/contact

With Migration Pass or higher:

# Scan with specific profile
terraback scan aws --profile production

# Scan multiple profiles
terraback scan aws --all-profiles

Scanning speed depends on infrastructure size:

• Small (< 100 resources): ~30 seconds
• Medium (100-1000 resources): 2-5 minutes
• Large (1000+ resources): 10-20 minutes

Migration Pass includes parallel scanning for improved performance.

Yes! Terraback has been tested with infrastructures containing:

• 1,000+ EC2 instances
• 5,000+ Lambda functions
• 10,000+ S3 objects

The tool uses efficient caching and pagination to handle large-scale environments.
