terraformer | CLI tool to generate terraform files | Infrastructure Automation library

I'm managing an autoscaling cloud infrastructure in AWS.

Every time I run Terraform it wants to override the desired_count, i.e. the number of running instances.

I would like this to not happen. How do I do that?

Constraints: I manage multiple different microservices, each of which set up their running instances with a shared module, where desired_count is specified. I don't want to change the shared module such that desired_count is ignored for all my microservices. Rather, I want to be able to override or not on a service-by-service (i.e caller-by-caller) basis.

This rules out a straightforward use of lifecycle { ignore_changes = ... }. As far as I can tell, the list of changes to ignore cannot be given as arguments (my Terraform complains when I try; feel free to tell me how you succeed at this).

My next idea (if possible) is to read the value from the stored state, if present, and ask for a desired_count equal to its current value, or my chosen initial value if it has no current value. If there are no concurrent Terraform runs (i.e. no races), this should accomplish the same thing. Is this possible?

I'm no expert terraformer. I would appreciate it a lot if you give very detailed answers.

I have a lambda named blog-dev-createArticle in us-east-1 region. I am trying to use Terraformer to generate its terraform files.

I am unable to use filters and generate the terraform files for a specific lambda function.
I have tried the following till now but all of them either selects all the lambdas & generates the .tf files for them or selects no lambda at all.

I am using terraform to create a web-acl in aws and want to associate that web-acl with CloudFront distribution.

So, here's how my code looks like:

I am new to the world of terraform. I am trying to use terraformer on a GCP project, but keep getting plugin not found:

I'm trying to create a Cloud Logging Sink with Terraform, that contains a regex as part of the filter.

Currently trying out a tool called Terraformer (it's a reverse Terraform) - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer.

I have a simple GCP project called test-one which only has one resource, vm_instance (google_compute_instance). I ran Terraformer and managed to get the outputs:

I am currently trying to reverse-terraform existing infrastructure (on aws) using Terraformer. I have managed to import some resources via:

I am trying to import existing AWS infra configuration using google's terraformer and I am unsuccessful due to AWS provider authentication problem. My AWS credentials are MFA enabled and hence i have to use session token. I failed to find options to enable terraformer to use aws session token params.

Here is the debug logs for the terraformer program. Could someone help me with this please. The below is generating empty tf files and states.

As per the documentation, with the gcloud cli if you run gcloud services list --available you can get a list of the services that are enabled or available to be enabled for a google cloud project. What is the equivalent library/call to use to do this in node? I've taken a look at the libs listed here and can't seem to find how to do this.

I'm using terraformer which is running in a node js env to go and programmatically crawl an account but it will error out if certain services are not enabled for a project when you try and run it. Basically, before I run terraformer I want to get a list of what services are enabled and only import those services.
