tomevault-io import-pulumi
Import existing GCP resources into Pulumi state.
Trigger Examples
- "Import resource to Pulumi"
- "Add existing GCP resource to state"
- "Bring this resource under Pulumi management"
Prerequisites
- Pulumi project exists under
infra/ - Target resources already exist in Google Cloud
- Pulumi backend (GCS) is configured
- Authentication to Google Cloud is available
Execution Flow
1. Confirm Stack and Resource Type
Validate stack is one of: shared, dev, prod
2. Gather Resource Information
Prompt for GCP metadata:
- Project ID (e.g.,
koborin-ai) - Region/location (
asia-northeast1) - Resource name/ID
- Any secondary identifiers
3. Resolve Pulumi Resource Name
Inspect infra/src/stacks/*.ts to find the Pulumi resource name.
4. Build Import Command
Use CLI-based import (NOT code-based import options):
cd infra
pulumi stack select <stack>
pulumi import <resource-type> <resource-name> "<import-id>" --yes
5. Provide Command to User
Run the following commands:
cd infra
export PULUMI_BACKEND_URL=gs://${BUCKET_NAME}/pulumi
export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=""
pulumi stack select <stack>
pulumi import <resource-type> <resource-name> "<import-id>" --yes
Let me know "success" or share the error output.
6. Wait for Result
- Success: Move to next resource or verify with
pulumi preview - Failure: Analyze error and adjust
7. Verify After Imports
pulumi stack ls
pulumi preview
# Expected: minimal changes
Import ID Formats

Example: Import Cloud Run Service
Command:
/import-pulumi dev cloudrunv2/service:Service
Conversation:
Please share the existing resource information:
- Project ID:
- Location (region):
- Service name:
User:
Project ID: koborin-ai
Location: asia-northeast1
Service name: koborin-ai-web-dev
Agent:
Run the following commands:
cd infra
pulumi stack select dev
pulumi import gcp:cloudrunv2/service:Service web-dev \
"projects/koborin-ai/locations/asia-northeast1/services/koborin-ai-web-dev" --yes
Let me know the result.
Important Notes
CLI Import Only: Always use
pulumi importcommand. Never use code-basedimportoptions in resource definitions.One at a Time: Import resources one at a time, waiting for confirmation.
Verify After: Always run
pulumi previewafter importing to spot drift.CI/CD Only for Apply: Import can be done locally, but
pulumi upshould only run via GitHub Actions.
Error Handling
- "Resource already exists in state": Check with
pulumi stackand skip - "Resource not found": Verify identifiers and project/region
- "Permission denied": Authenticate with sufficient IAM roles
