Resource Importability

Each resource in Terraform must implement some basic logic to become importable. As a result, not all Terraform resources are currently importable. If you find a resource that you want to import and Terraform reports that it isn't importable, please report an issue.

Converting a resource to be importable is also relatively simple, so if you're interested in contributing that functionality, the Terraform team would be grateful.

To make a resource importable, please see the plugin documentation on writing a resource.
