04/04/2022, 12:08 PMHello, whats the currently recommended way to use existing ServiceCatalog/Cloudformation templates with pulumi and python?
What i have tried so far:
1. The template converter (https://www.pulumi.com/cf2pulumi/) but that leads to a bug https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native/issues/429
2. Importing (for example) IAM users with “pulumi import awsiam/userUser…” but the resulting code is missing properties that are present/configurable in my existing template
So how would i best go about using an existing IAMUser template, import it into pulumi and pass in the required variables to create different IAM users?

"import" should codegen for all non-default properties.

04/04/2022, 2:28 PMNo sorry, the recommendation is normally use import but if this resources is bugging out right now that makes things a bit hard.
