The current document is directed to an infrastructure-as-code ('IaC') cloud-infrastructure-management service or system that automatically generates parameterized cloud templates that represent already deployed cloud-based infrastructure, including virtual networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topologies. The IaC cloud-infrastructure manager provides an infrastructure-discovery service that accesses a cloud-computing facility to obtain information about already deployed cloud infrastructure and that generates a textual description of the deployed infrastructure, which the IaC cloud-infrastructure-manager then transforms into a set of parameterized cloud-infrastructure-specification-and-configuration files, a resource_ids file, and a parameters file that together comprise a parameterized cloud template.
