Verified steps

  1. Write the resource block matching the live resource as closely as possible
  2. Use an import block (TF 1.5+): import { to = aws_s3_bucket.x, id = "bucket-name" }
  3. terraform plan — iterate on the config until the plan shows no changes (or only acceptable ones)
  4. Apply, then refactor with moved blocks if needed
