Running Imports with CI/CD

How to update Terraform state to manage newly created resources from cloud-concierge.

Terraform post-1.5.0

We strongly recommend running cloud-concierge with Terraform 1.5 specified.

In this case, cloud-concierge writes import statements using Terraform 1.5+'s native import block, and allowing you to use your existing Terraform CI/CD deployment pipeline to run resource imports.

Terraform pre-1.5.0

If the Terraform version is specified to be less than version 1.5, then cloud-concierge outputs a series of import statements corresponding to each identified resource that is outside of Terraform control. These can be run manually on the CLI, or our Github action allows for a programatic plan and apply style workflow for the generated import statements.
