    values = ["amzn2-ami-hvm-*-x86_64-ebs"]

  }

}

resource "aws_instance" "vault" {

  ami                         = data.aws_ami.amzlinux2.id

  instance_type               = "t3.micro"

  key_name                    = "vault-key"

  vpc_security_group_ids      = var.sg

Michael has deployed many resources in AWS using Terraform and can easily update or destroy resources when required by the application team. A new employee, Dwight, is working with the application team and deployed a new EC2 instance through the AWS console. When Michael finds out, he decided he wants to manage the new EC2 instance using Terraform moving forward. He opens his terminal and types:

$ terraform import aws_instance.web_app_42 i-b54a26b28b8acv7233

However, Terraform returns the following error: Error: resource address "aws_instance.web_app_42" does not exist in the configuration.

What does Michael need to do first in order to manage the new Amazon EC2 instance with Terraform?

True or False? You can migrate the Terraform backend but only if there are no resources currently being managed.
