Import katapult_virtual_machine resources #48

Open jimeh opened 3 years ago

jimeh commented 3 years ago

We currently do not support importing katapult_virtual_machine resources, as the disk_template and disk_template_options attributes are only relevant during creation, and are not returned by the API at the moment.

There are plans for the API to return these attributes, but it's not a straight forward thing, so we probably should not delay import support until it's ready.

Based on the import documentation, we probably want to use [ImportStateVerifyIgnore][2], and simply require users to define a lifecycle block with a ignore_changes attribute to avoid the disk template options from showing as changed after import.

[2]: https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/resources/import.html#importstateverifyignore-1

It might be possible to use CustomizeDiff to suppress changes to attributes which are only available during create. I did have a very brief look into this back in December, but didn't have much luck, so I'm not sure if it's possible.

With the planned migration in #97 to the new Plugin Framework, along with some purpose made enhancements to Katapult's Core API, this issue should become easier to resolve.

The ability to import resources is something that is blocking us managing all of our resources in Terraform.
