OpenTofu-Oriented Import Guide

This repository is OpenTofu-first. That changes the default import workflow.

OpenTofu supports import blocks and the tofu import command, but Terraform Search and terraform query are Terraform-specific features and should not be the default path here.

Default decision rule

1. Identify the runtime.
2. If the repo uses OpenTofu, use manual discovery plus import blocks or tofu import.
3. Only consider Terraform Search if the user explicitly says they are using Terraform with that feature available.

In this repository, assume step 2 unless the user says otherwise.

OpenTofu workflow

1. Discover existing resource IDs outside OpenTofu

Use the provider's CLI, console, or API to discover the existing objects and their import IDs.
