This command locates the AWS instance with ID `i-abcd1234`. Then it attaches
the existing settings of the instance, as described by the EC2 API, to the

Terraform state.
It is also possible to import to resources in child modules and to single

It is also possible to import to resources in child modules, using their paths,
