Nice, clear, direct and with a demo :D Thanks man !

Great video very informative and straight to the point. Always enjoy all your videos!

great job as always, love your channel

This was a great help to me. Thanks!

Such a gem! Great content, thank you. 🙏

That was super useful thankx !

It's not fair this guide has too few likes. It's definitely deserves much more likes!

Good explanation! thank you!!

Thanks

Love your videos Ned, they have helped me immensely over the years. I don't know if you can fix the audio/video mismatch though, appears that the video lags behind the audio by about a second?

Nice, can you do a video of a timeline of updates on each terraform version? Because most of us are still stuck on v1.2 😂

Thank you, Ned. Great presentation on "Testing Vault ACL policies with Python" in HashiConf 2023. Could you please github repo link for the code used in this example? Thank you.

have you tested this feature to fix issues related to state file being out of sync? Like, for instance, deploying a new DB via terraform and later on pushing manual changes via the console (causing the sync problem). Will import blocks fetch all these new changes so you can grab these and update your original main terraform file?

Do you prefer aztfexport or Import Blocks ? :D

where was this years ago ;) lol

Can the import block be used on an existing infrastructure that doesn’t have main and state files generated? I know using the TF export command it generates everything and expects the working directory to be empty.

Hi I'm trying to use the new terraform import block but i get an error saying that import blocks are not expected. I'm running v1.7.2 on WSL

Getting the following error: The parsed Resource ID was missing a value for the segment at position 2 (which should be the literal value "resourceGroups") on a kubernetes_cluster import block. Is there a fix for this? I get it after running a TF plan. Using the new "import block" method.

terraformer killer

id does not support variables :(

Hi Ned, I am using the public registry EC2 module -> terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws to test out the import functionality of Terraform 1.5.x. I created an EC2 instance using the module for the testing. When I tried importing the EC2 instance using the same EC2 module (I deleted the terraform.tfstate to simulate), Terraform plan was showing 2 update in-place changes. I can't figure out where the change is coming from. I am expecting no changes as I have used the same EC2 module and main.tf config - no changes in parameters. I only deleted the terraform.tfstate to simulate the import. Did you encounter this previously? thanks. ---------------------- Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan.
