<#C84L4E3N1|general> <#CRH5ENVDX|aws> <#CDE799L1M|python> I am struggling to find correct pulumi import  [type] [name] [flag] configuration to import aws:iam role? "arn:aws:iam:123456789012:instance-profile/SomeRole123-123"

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/iam/role/#import|https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/iam/role/#import>

Hi Piers, many thanks. however, it is the problem.  the doc says the role can be imported using "name"  and the command line doesn't have "name" only "developer" and "developer_name". I am trying to import a service role.  I also checked pulumi import cli document and I don't know what to use for ID, "arn" is not working. so a bit lost...

So for example, I've got an IAM role with the ARN `arn:aws:iam::123456:role/api-lambda-role-17fe8a4` . If I wanted to import that I'd use  `pulumi import aws:iam/role:Role iam-role-name api-lambda-role-17fe8a4`
