Question

In the docs if an item doesn t have a Import section is it a resource that can t be imported For example `aws ec2 mainRouteTableAssociation MainRouteTableAssociation` or is a matter of figuring out the correct Id to use

That might be a doc bug The docs for route table associations is correct <https www pulumi com registry packages aws api docs ec2 routetableassociation > Well apart from some missing text

I m specifying the id on the import as subnet id routeTable id and getting So its finding it but can t import the RouteTableAssociation I m using the latest Pulumi Aws and the 3 15 0 cli

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Nuts Must be different for MainRouteTableAssociation maybe because the subnet id isn t mandatory Looks like you ll have to guess disappointed Maybe the TF docs have more info Onesec

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Nope Do you want to try <http vpc id routeTable id|vpc id routeTable id> Since they re the only two properties and they re both mandatory

I m trying to import a RouteTableAssociation not a MainRouteTableAssociation I was messing around with both I could easily code it up but wanted to see if I could get import working I m kind of curious how it all works might have to dig around in the cli code slightly smiling face But yeah I can view the imported RouteTable in the stack and it looks good

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

Sure

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You couldn t import the RouteTableAssociation either I thought it was just the MainRouteTableAssociation that wasn t working

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

I skipped the MainRouteTableAssociation and am trying RouteTableAssociation

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

``` No association found between route table ID rtb 0b60460a8ee6c26fa and target ID vpc 0fcfcc82840f34979```

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

dumping the tf state I can see the `aws route table association` has an id route table id and subnet id I ve tried both id and route table id

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

To clarify you re importing a RouteTableAssociation for a RouteTable that is already in state and a Subnet that already exists in state You need to set the import property to <http subnet id routeTable id|subnet id routeTable id>

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You can hardcode those values since they re used only once

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

RouteTables aren t associated with VPCs they re associated with subnets

In this case the 3 resources are in a json as a bulk import

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

```pulumi import f import network json y o import network cs```

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

I can t see a problem with that I would raise an issue and hand craft the source It s a small amount of code

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You just need to add the import property to the opt parameter of the RouteTableAssociation initially then remove it after the import works

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

ok will do I just tried with 3 16 0 for kicks and same issue

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

crossed fingers

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

What do you mean by add the import property to the opt parameter

bored-activity-40468 · Answer

oh in code you mean

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes Write the Pulumi code for the association add the opt parameter put the import property in it initially and remove it after it s in state

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

That s the old way for importing resources it still works
