Import Command and Import Block

This sub-project contains terraform code to understand the concept of importing an existing infrastructure to manage it using terraform.

Terraform is able to import existing infrastructure. This allows you take resources you’ve created by some other means and bring it under Terraform management.
Terraform import can only import resources into the state. Importing does not generate configuration.
The terraform import command can only import one resource at a time. It cannot simultaneously import an entire collection of resources.

Prerequisites

All the prerequisites mentioned in top level README file must be fulfilled for successful execution of code.

To execute the terraform code, go to command prompt and then run the following commands:

[Required] terraform init # To initialize the terraform working directory.
[Optional] terraform validate # To validate the terraform configuration.
[Optional] terraform fmt # To format the terraform configuration to a canonical format and style.
[Optional] terraform plan # To create an execution plan for terraform configuration files.
[Required] terraform apply -auto-approve # To execute the actions proposed in a terraform plan to create, update, or destroy infrastructure.
[Optional] terraform destroy -auto-approve # To destroy the created infrastructure. Specific resources can be destroyed using resource targetting.
