Auto Generate DFDs

[rbhitchcock]

This change would likely be a new project all together, though it should be explored in the context of this existing work.

Ditch the concept of a provider and instead have a provisioner or more generic plugin. Terraform builds a dependency graph each time you run a command (or at least each time you run commands like apply). I would love to see if we can just walk that dependency graph and flag elements we care about (subnets, load balancers, vpcs, etc) and auto generate the DFDs rather than require them to be specified in an .hcl file

I just learnt about this project (by reading this nice article of yours), and this was my first thought and discussion internally at work. @rbhitchcock it seems like you had this idea for some time, are you aware of any advancements?
