From ClickOps to code: CloudFormation's IaC Generator tames untracked AWS sprawl
AWS environments grow organically: resources provisioned through the console, CLI, or SDKs, with no template describing them and no way to govern what you can't see. CloudFormation's IaC Generator scans an account and produces templates from existing VPCs, EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and IAM roles, compressing what was a multi-sprint documentation effort into a single planning session. This post walks the operational trade-offs that turn a generated baseline into something a team can actually own and automate.
