history

Project history and usage

cf-terraforming is Cloudflare's CLI for turning existing Cloudflare resources into Terraform configuration and import commands. The README explains that it uses Cloudflare account credentials to retrieve configuration through the Cloudflare API and convert it for the Terraform Cloudflare provider.

Project history

Cloudflare's public repository was created in 2018. The README links Cloudflare's announcement of its HashiCorp partnership and cf-terraforming bootstrap workflow, and the 2026 Homebrew formula packages v0.27.0.

Adoption history

The official Cloudflare docs tell macOS users to install it through the cloudflare/cloudflare Homebrew tap and other users to download a GitHub release. The supplied package facts also list Homebrew and Nix packaging.

How it is used

cf-terraforming is aimed at existing Cloudflare customers who want to start managing already-created resources with Terraform. It can generate HCL for supported Cloudflare resource types and emit Terraform import commands or Terraform 1.5+ import blocks, using account or zone identifiers and API token or API key authentication.

Why package nerds care

The package is significant because it bridges click-managed SaaS infrastructure and declarative IaC. For packagers, it is a vendor-owned Go CLI with real operational demand: it helps users migrate state into Terraform instead of manually writing large Cloudflare configurations.

Timeline

  • 2018: Public GitHub repository created.
  • 2025: v0.23.x and v0.24.0 releases published.
  • 2026: v0.25.0, v0.26.0, and v0.27.0 releases published.

Related projects

  • The README and Cloudflare docs tie cf-terraforming to the Terraform Cloudflare provider, the Cloudflare API, terraform-exec, Terraform state import, and CDKTF conversion workflows.
