Show HN: Cloudcraft – Create AWS diagrams

This is awesome. Wouldn't it be cool is this were wired up to an orchestration tool like Terraform to visualize TF states?

Another level would be container infrastructure. Our new project is Docker/Kubernetes so the AWS infrastructure mostly just vanilla resources. It would be fantastic to have a similar tool for the internals of our micro SOA.

Great job!

Thanks, I added Terraform import & export to https://trello.com/b/mv14mX1U/cloudcraft-roadmap What type of components would you need to map your service internals?

BTW, I think it's key to stay clear of trying to become an orchestration/deployment tool in itself, but integrating with formats like CloudFormation and Terraform should be doable.

Terraform can generate graphs of your dependencies using the unix "dot" program. And then there is terraforming which can create terraform scripts from your existing infrastructure. So maybe if you can change terraform to output a file that cloudcraft can use. I'm not sure if has an import. I don't want to have to sign up just to play with it.
