Learn how to use #terraform import the right way in this video.

Suppose an engineer on your team decided to create an EC2 instance in #aws directly via the console and without using Terraform.

Terraform doesn't know anything about this resource and therefore won't know to add it to its state file.

Now there is a way to terraform import this resource into our state file, but we still need to manually write the configuration for it. If you don't, you could delete that resource!
