Abstract
This relates generally to create and manage a cloud infrastructure using a cloud infrastructure tool. An example method includes, at a server associated with a cloud management platform, receiving a configuration file associated with a cloud infrastructure tool describing a desired state of a cloud infrastructure; creating a cloud template based on the configuration file; determining cloud resources for achieving the desired state of the cloud infrastructure based on the cloud template; for each of the cloud resources: determining a type of the cloud resource; identifying a native resource associated with the cloud management platform based on the type of the resource; mapping an identification of the native resource to the cloud resource; and storing the mapping between the cloud resource and the native resource in a non-native format; and displaying a graphical user interface configured to display a topology for the cloud resources and the cloud infrastructure tool.
