Terraform Search: Discover and import resource in bulk
summary
A new workflow uses a separate TFquery.htcl file and a CLI command called terraform query plus an HCP Terraform UI to discover unmanaged cloud resources, generate paired import block and resource block configurations, and mark them with a stable resource identity so duplicates are avoided. The demo imports two resources but the system supports hundreds to millions, outputs ready Terraform code that merges to VCS and triggers plan/apply, and the team reports it works end to end.
