Adventures in Generating HCL for Fastly Next-Gen WAF Configurations

Explore the journey of creating a tool that generates HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) based on existing Fastly Next-Gen WAF configurations in this 11-minute conference talk. Learn how to address the challenge of importing UI-based configurations into Terraform without tedious or error-prone processes. Gain insights into the development process, watch a live demo, and discover the obstacles encountered while building a tool that imports Terraform state and generates HCL. Walk away with valuable knowledge on bridging the gap between UI-configured systems and infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform.
