About balcony terraform import-configurations
Balcony can generate import blocks for terraform resources if it knows how to do so.
We can let balcony know how to generate import blocks by creating a .yaml file, that looks like this:
import_configurations:
- service: ec2
resource_node: Instances
operation_name: DescribeInstances
to_resource_type: aws_instance
jmespath_query: "[].Reservations[].Instances[]"
to_resource_name_jinja2_template: "{{ tag_Name or InstanceId }}"
id_generator_jinja2_template: "{{ InstanceId }}"
