💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only the resource type without the name.

Swapping the order of resource name and type.

The import command requires the full resource address. aws_instance.example is the correct format.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using resource name alone in the import command.

Using incorrect resource address format.

The import command needs the full resource address aws_s3_bucket.mybucket. The resource type alone is aws_s3_bucket, which can be used as a variable or reference.

5fill in blank

hard

Terraform

for id in ids; do terraform import [1].$[2] "$id"; done
resource_type = "[3]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect variable names for resource name.

Mixing resource type and name in the wrong order.

The import command uses the resource type aws_instance and a dynamic resource name variable resource_name. The resource type is assigned to resource_type.
