Question 1

What is CloudForge?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Is CloudForge free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CloudForge is completely free for everyone — individuals, teams, and enterprises. All features including AI architecture generation, Terraform export, and multi-cloud support are included at no cost.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

Does CloudForge have a desktop app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge offers a free native Windows desktop app (Windows 10/11 x64). Download the zip, extract it, and run CloudForge.exe — no browser required. A macOS and Linux version are coming soon.

Question 7

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 8

Is CloudForge a good free alternative to Cloudcraft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CloudForge is a free alternative to Cloudcraft with additional features including AI-powered architecture generation, Terraform code export, multi-cloud support for Azure/AWS/GCP, and a native Windows desktop app. Unlike Cloudcraft, CloudForge generates deployable IaC code directly from your diagrams.
