Add import functionality for Google Compute Engine resources

Terraform Version

$ terraform --version
Terraform v0.10.0-beta2-dev

Affected Resource(s)

Most Google Compute Engine resources lack the import functionality. An example: google_compute_instance.

Hey @jvrplmlmn, just for prioritization: which resources in particular would you like import support on? Obviously we'd like to include it for all of them but this will at least help us come up with an ordering.

Hi @danawillow, right now I'm mainly interested in google_compute_instance.

Is there any guide on how to write an importer function for Terraform? I might be able to contribute a patch if I get some guidance 😃

[danawillow]

Self-assigning but @rosbo will be working on this.

@jvrplmlmn there isn't a guide per se, but take a look at #40 for an example. google_compute_instance isn't quite as straightforward though, because it currently reads from state in the read function (you can tell from the d.Get(...)s) which won't work for import, so it'll need to stop doing that first.

[rosbo]

Most compute resources now have import support. google_compute_instance doesn't have import support yet but there is a specific issue to address it (#269).

If there is a specific resource for which you would like to have import support, please open a new issue for that specific resource.

Closing this issue.
