Question 1

What are CloudForge Delivery Workspaces?

Accepted Answer

CloudForge Delivery Workspaces help teams move from a requirement or Designer diagram into reviewable architecture, engineering, and DevOps artefacts. The Architect Workspace creates clarification questions, impact analysis, ADRs, risks, Mermaid diagrams, and delivery backlog items. Engineering and DevOps workspaces prepare implementation and release readiness.

Question 2

How do Designer diagrams connect to CloudForge Workspaces?

Accepted Answer

Designer remains the visual source of truth for cloud architecture diagrams. Workspaces explain and prepare the delivery work around that design: Architect Workspace turns requirements into architecture packs and diagrams, Engineering Workspace turns approved architecture into implementation tasks, and DevOps Workspace turns the design into deployment readiness.

Question 3

What is CloudForge?

Accepted Answer

CloudForge is a visual cloud infrastructure designer for Azure, AWS, and GCP. You can drag-and-drop cloud resources, pull live Azure and AWS inventories, or describe your architecture in plain English and the AI will generate the diagram. It then produces production-ready Terraform, Pulumi, ARM templates, Bicep, or CloudFormation code automatically.

Question 4

Does CloudForge have a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge has a trial for evaluation. Paid plans unlock production workflows such as Azure and AWS live resource import, team governance, Terraform and Pulumi generation, drift checks, and priority support.

Question 5

Which cloud providers does CloudForge support?

Accepted Answer

CloudForge supports Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with 100+ resources for each provider. You can design multi-cloud and hybrid architectures in a single interface.

Question 6

Can CloudForge generate Terraform code automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge generates production-ready Terraform code directly from your visual diagrams. It also supports ARM templates, Bicep, and CloudFormation. The generated code follows cloud provider best practices and is ready to deploy.

Question 7

Does CloudForge have an AI architecture designer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI Architect lets you describe your infrastructure in plain English (e.g. "a highly available 3-tier web app on Azure with a PostgreSQL database and Redis cache") and instantly generates the full architecture diagram with proper resources, connections, and Terraform code.

Question 8

Does CloudForge have a desktop app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge offers a native Windows desktop app (Windows 10/11 x64). Download the zip, extract it, and run CloudForge.exe. A macOS and Linux version are coming soon.

Question 9

Can I import existing Terraform files into CloudForge?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge can parse your existing .tf Terraform files and automatically generate a visual architecture diagram from them. You can then edit the diagram and regenerate the Terraform code.

Question 10

Is CloudForge a good Cloudcraft alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge is a Cloudcraft alternative with AI-powered architecture generation, Terraform and Pulumi export, multi-cloud support for Azure/AWS/GCP, live resource import, and a native Windows desktop app.
