<@U03LZE7VDFF> the automation API doesn't currently support the import mechanism

importing is a one time operation, what are you trying to do?

I'm trying to bring resources under control that were created outside of config management. Specifically I have an AWS user that I'd like to start managing but I don't want to delete and re-create it.

you should be able to create a stack and do a one time `pulumi import` from the CLI, then go on to manage it from the automation API

yeah, that's an idea -- will do that, thanks!
