02/11/2021, 4:28 AMThe ID needed for import is described at the bottom of each resource's doc page. For Role, it is the role's name.

02/11/2021, 4:45 AMThat was a little bit confusing too, I ended up trying to run the command
pulumi import aws:iam/role:Role <role name> <role name again>👍 1

02/11/2021, 4:49 AMJust be aware that the provider "name" and the Pulumi "name" aren't the same.

02/11/2021, 4:49 AMPulumi name is the first argument to the constructor, and it's not sent to the provider at all. It's essentially the address of the resource in the state.

02/11/2021, 4:52 AMSo you'd have something like this, in TypeScript:
Copy code
const myRole = new aws.iam.Role("rdsServiceRole", {
name: "AWSServiceRoleForRDS",
// ...
}, { import: "AWSServiceRoleForRDS" });r

02/11/2021, 1:23 PM"provider name" -> that was the association I was misusing in my head, now everything's fitting. Thank you again!
