AWS CloudFormation has long been a go-to service for provisioning and managing AWS infrastructure. With the introduction of the Import-Existing-Resources feature, CloudFormation enables users to import and manage already existing AWS resources within CloudFormation stacks. This feature is invaluable for organizations that bring pre-existing infrastructure under infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices, helping streamline management, improve scalability, and reduce manual configuration errors. However, this powerful feature has limitations and nuances, particularly around default resources like route tables and security groups, which can create challenges for AWS administrators.
