Using Terraform once you already have close to 100 Merakis deployed

[Chadmin04]

I am new here so I apologize in advance if this has already been answered elsewhere.

I am curious how you can start using Terraform once you already have close to 100 Merakis deployed in production. I have a script and settings I would like to deploy going forward and it works for new sites, but I'm not sure what to do safely with the ones that already exist.

Presumably, I would like to pull the existing settings down and put them in a .tf file, but I am not sure if it is best to do that.

Also, does anyone have any advice on best practice on how to organize your sites, variables, and settings?

Thanks in advance!

Myself I'm using the Automation section in the Meraki Dashboard. Here you can call every API thinkable from the Meraki Dashboard and a lot of other products. I've seen Terraform, but in my opinion the Automation section works great. I use it for deploying Golden Settings to every org via GitLab and the API's

The same you want to do with Terraform

Personally, I would lean more into configuration templates.
