Bring undocumented AWS resources into Terraform
A Schoo infrastructure engineer used Cursor Agent to investigate a manually maintained AWS account and import about 350 required resources into Terraform. The account contained more than 1,500 listed resources. The post provides technical steps but no measured time saving.
Source checked: the source link is valid and the automated fact check passed. The summary is AI-assisted. This is not human verification. Check the original source before relying on its claims.
For whom
Cloud engineers in small or medium teams; AWS and Terraform expertise.
Not for
Unsuitable for importing production infrastructure without checking Terraform plans and state.

Still current?
Partly, better ways exist
Today: Use Cursor Plan Mode with Terraform's native search and bulk import for supported AWS resources, then review dependencies and the import plan.
Augments or replaces?
Augments your skills
AI investigates resources and drafts configuration, while the engineer defines scope, reviews import plans and controls infrastructure changes.
