Why Migrate CloudFormation to Terraform for Infrastructure Optimization?

If you’re facing limitations in your current infrastructure and want to explore new tools, you’re not alone. We recently assisted a client who wanted to optimize their processes but was constrained by their infrastructure being built using CloudFormation. This limited their ability to explore tools outside of AWS, so we recommended migrate CloudFormation to Terraform, which would open up more options.

Challenges

  • Infrastructure

    Limited infrastructure documentation and understanding.

  • Compatibility

    Constraints due to CloudFormation’s compatibility with non-AWS tools.

  • Replicate

    Replicating CloudFormation features in Terraform with alternative solutions.

Tech Stack

  • AWS
  • VPCs
  • EC2
  • Load Balancers
  • Security Groups
  • CloudFormation
  • Terraform
  • Ansible
  • S3
  • IAM
  • CloudWatch
  • Route53

Solutions

  • Terraform Code

    Developed Terraform code to recreate the entire infrastructure in a testing environment.

  • Migration

    Migrated to Terrafor for faster, smoother deployments—reducing setup time from 2-4 hours to 30 minutes.

  • Server Configuration

    Use of external tools like Ansible to enhance server configuration.

Outcomes

The migration resulted in more flexible deployments, faster setup times, and the ability to integrate a broader range of tools outside of AWS. The client was delighted with the improvements and the increased possibilities provided by Terraform.

That’s why migrating CloudFormation to Terraform is a good choice for your infrastructure…
