I have about 39 AWS accounts that were created outside Terraform stack, but I want to import them so as to manage them with Terraform, but I don’t want to delete or recreate them, whats the best way - using terraform import?

ag4ve:
Afaik yes. There’s terraforming to get all your stuff into decently redeploy-able fashion. However, I suspect you’ll want a loop with them in a list or map with attributes or something (which I’m not exactly sure how to import that type of setup off hand).

If you mean all the infrastructure in all the accounts? That;s going to take weeks to months of man-hours depending on how much infra there is… Terraform importing is currently still a mostly manual process.

Oladejo Famuyide:
@Alistair Mackay Thanks for the response. It is not the infrastructure. It’s just the Top-level organizational resource in creating an AWS account. I already have another Terraform stack that manages the infra.
