Import Existing Security Policies from Panorama to Terraform code (Reverse Terraform for Palo Alto)

L2 Linker

I created a script to reverse Terraform Security Policies from Panorama to be Managed by terraform 

Currently only works with Security Policies, i'll be working in the future to work with the rest of the configuration in a panorama.

Thanks @GabrielMontiel.

 

I see this uses an XML config file; if you have a live device you can also use Terraformer.

Yes i just saw that terraformer had support for the panos terraform provider just recently, there's an issue with it though that the policies can not have a whitespace in the name. i guess its easier to pull request than to build it from scratch

Nice! I still see Panorama as a nice system for monitoring many firewalls that can be used together with Terraform and as Palo Alto allows managing firewalls locally or with Panorama without issues with the Post and Pre rules for me Terraform in some cases can be added without the removal of Panorama, especially if you have many firewalls but maybe if you have small number in different cloud region locations and 1 Panorama is not enough because of the latency then going with Terraform could be answer.
