Using Terraform to import existing resources on Azure

Question

I have an existing resource group on Azure with a VM running on it and have been playing around with Terraform to try and import the resource to my state file.

It looks like you need to fix your script file first - azurerm isn't a valid resource name, did you mean:

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
    # ...instance configuration...
    name = "MyResourceGroup"    
}

As seen in the output, import is expecting two parameters, ADDR and ID - you're only passing (what I assume is) the ID. You also need to tell terraform which resource in your script it maps to:

terraform import azurerm_resource_group.example \
  /subscriptions/MySubscriptionNumber/resourceGroups/MyResourceGroup
