Terraform your Azure
Cloud infrastructure

Currently, Brainboard supports migrate from Azure or AWS as part of our standard offering.

Terraforming is the concept in which something is transformed. In the case of Cloud Computing and Brainboard, we call Terraforming the process of migrating your infrastructure into modern Infrastructure-as-code framework, and more specifically into Terraform. Reverse engineering refers to the fact of converting each Azure resource to a valid terraform code.

Each Azure Cloud Resource migrated will cost one credit. Every Brainboard client is given 50 FREE credits to start with. Nevertheless, to start migrating to Brainboard with more than 50 resources, schedule a call with our team to discuss volume pricing packages.

Migrating to Terraform brings many benefits, however, it can really only be leveraged to its full potential by those that are experts in IaC. Visually managing your Terraform and therefore your cloud infrastructure allows you to access all the benefits of IaC, regardless of your team's Terraform experience. After importing your Azure cloud infrastructure, with Brainboard you be able to:
‍
1. Design robust multi-cloud architectures the same way you would draw a design on a whiteboard, and have Terraform code generated instantly with IaC best practices natively enforced. Apply code principles to your designs and version every step of your work.

2. Deploy with CI/CD pipelines that you visually create using the most reliable and popular pipeline actions to gain valuable insights into cloud costs, security vulnerabilities and policy breaches for your cloud infrastructure.

3. Manage your infrastructure and team around a single source of truth, with 100% accurate cloud infrastructure architecture diagrams, Terraform code, and deployment outputs. Standardize processes around public and private libraries of templates and modules that are usable by engineers with any level of Terraform knowledge.

Traditionally, migrating a cloud infrastructure requires multiple engineers working for months to analyze the existing infrastructure, write the Terraform code, and validate the code, all for each cloud resource.

As an example, an infrastructure with 2,500 resources typically takes 3–5 engineers anywhere from several weeks to several months to fully migrate to Terraform
‍
With Brainboard, it will take 1 engineer less than 2 weeks to migrate 2,500 resources to Terraform and you will also have an accurate diagram representation from which to make further adjustments, changes, and deployments yourselves.
