Anyone know a way to import resources from Azure in the new AzureNextGen format?

I had hoped it would be as simple as replacing `azure:core:ResourceName` with `azure:nextgen:ResourceName` in the URN.

Unfortunately, it’s more complicated. Resource names, property names, and shapes are different between the two. Right now, it’s a manual process where you’d delete the old resource from the state (`pulumi state delete`) and then import the new resource with the `import` option.

Not sure how to import the new resource. For example, the NextGen ResourceGroup docs don’t show an example of the `import` statement. <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/resources/resourcegroup/>

Yes, we need to update the docs there. It’s the same command, you just need to get the URN right. E.g. `azure-nextgen:resources/latest:ResourceGroup`

So if I want to port a project over to NextGen, I’ll have to delete all the state and re-import it all using the updated URN, right?

Yes. You can even start a new project, import everything there, and “forget” the old one.
