How to import manually created s3 bucket in Terraform

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created an s3 bucket manually in AWS. Now I want to import this bucket to my Terraform state file. So that Terraform code can sync with the bucket. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

Terraform will not able to get the information that you created manually. So before running the Terraform code, you need to import the bucket information in the state file. You can use the below command to do so.

$ terraform import aws_s3_bucket.my-bucket bucket-created-manually
