Welcome to Former2!
Former2 allows you to generate Infrastructure-as-Code outputs from your existing resources within your AWS account. By making the relevant calls using the AWS JavaScript SDK, Former2 will scan across your infrastructure and present you with the list of resources for you to choose which to generate outputs for.
Though some AWS services do not require it, you will need to install the Former2 Helper browser extension in order to have support for all AWS services. The extension exists to bypass a lack of CORS on some services, such as S3 and IAM.

Install Former2 Helper for Google Chrome |
 |
Install Former2 Helper for Mozilla Firefox |
 |
Install Former2 Helper for Microsoft Edge |
If you have any questions, bugs or feature requests please raise an issue via GitHub.

Enter your IAM credentials:
You will need an IAM key pair to authenticate your requests. If you are not planning on importing resources directly, it is recommended that you provide only read access with these credentials and suggest you assign the ReadOnlyAccess policy. If you intend to use the Import feature, you should grant appropriate permissions to create the stack.
