Does

import

create the resource if it doesn’t exist? I have lambdas which have created their own log groups, they are untagged. I would love if I could somehow just get pulumi to take over if it exists then apply the tags, or create if it doesn’t exist

No. Import only works for pre-existing resources.

Any ideas/suggestion on how to solve the above?

Im not familiar with log groups, but you can import multiple resources at once with the

--file

argument if that helps.

Basically, AWS will automatically create them when the service writes logs. So I may, or may not have existing log groups which i want to take over
