[Evaluation] Determine unmanaged resources #1256

@lechnerc77

Description

@lechnerc77

One obstacle for customers that are adopting Terraform is to determine which resources are already managed by Terraform and which resources are not managed by Terraform. This comes with two aspects:

  • Which resources do I need to import and bring under the management of Terraform?
  • Determine a "drift" of the setup as resources have been manually added to a subaccount

With the LIST feature being available in Terraform the search for such resources would be covered. In a vanilla Terraform Setup (not using Hashicorp Cloud) this lacks the option to compare the result with the existing state file.

The goal of this evaluation is to determine what options exists to bring these two pieces together even when not using Hashicorp Cloud

Depends on #1249
