Importing Existing Production Services

​

Importing production services

1. Create definitions matching the production service(s) in the target directory where related Terraform configuration files exist. For example, if you want to import an MCR then you need to add the following Terraform configuration file into the target directory.
   resource "megaport_mcr" "example" {
     product_name           = <importing service's name>
     product_speed          = <importing service's speed>
     location_id            = <importing service's location ID>
     contract_term_months   = <importing service's contract term>
     diversity_zone         = <blue or red>
   }
   
2. You can find the product_UID in the Portal. Click the service to view the URL. The alphanumeric information at the end of the URL is the product_UID.
3. Run the following command:
   
   terraform import <IMPORTING RESOURCE> "<PRODUCT_UID>"
   
   
   Example:
   
   terraform import megaport_mcr.example "example-uid-a123456-7000-3333-xyz"
   
   
   After the import is complete, you will see a message similar to the following: Confirm that the target service is imported into Terraform as intended by reviewing the terraform.tfstate file.
