Life-Cycle Management After Import

In the previous chapter, we discussed some of the common import issues and best practices with Terraform. This chapter will cover potential Terraform integrations and resource life-cycle management following the import process. Terraform integrations allows us to explore the possible workflows for reverse engineering and to leverage the infrastructure automation capabilities to help solve complex business challenges. Considering that you are well versed at this point with the concepts of reverse engineering and the import operation with Terraform, now it is time to understand further use cases that apply after the import operation to implement infrastructure automation in routine IT activities.
