03/14/2024, 3:25 PMHi all, I have created a component resource that represents aws vpc's (including subnets, route tables, associations, peering connections, etc) and wish to import some existing resources, I am really struggling to understand the docs around import here tho. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/cli/commands/pulumi_import/
Anyone able to give me some advice here please?

03/14/2024, 4:23 PMif it's a lot of resources and you know your aws cli/api, you might be able to script something?

03/14/2024, 4:25 PMyes, i have 8 vpc's so it might be worth scripting.. going to test it a bit first tho. Thanks!
