unfortunately this is the best way to do this right now, you do need to go track down each resource 😞

Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to implement 🤓
Would be easy enough to create a script that outputs the JSON that import supports, just need a mapping of AWS types to Pulumi types. 🤔
That is what I meant, when I referred to outputting the JSON pulumi supports, should have specified JSON file 😄
Seems like a killer feature to me, being able to move from console to IaC easily 😉 (assuming you have tags on your resources)

the problem there is traversing AWS's constantly moving API surface is extremely difficult. It may get easier with the cloud control API

Definitely, it might end up being too brittle, but it sounds cool 😅
Would be a fun weekend project to make a PoC 😁
Will be interesting to see how the cloud control API progresses.
