Can imported resources apply their names to the Terraform resource?

[MohnJadden]

If we're importing a whole resource group full of resources, aztfexport presently applies a res-### name to the resource. The ### is taken from a numeric value based on the order in which the resource appears.

For example - let's say I've got a resource group named Network, with one vnet, an NSG with five rules, and a subnet. It names the Terraform resources as:

• azurerm_resource_group.res-0
• azurerm_virtual_network.res-1
• azurerm_network_security_group.res-2
• azurerm_network_security_rule.res-3
• azurerm_network_security_rule.res-4
• azurerm_network_security_rule.res-5
• azurerm_network_security_rule.res-6
• azurerm_network_security_rule.res-7
• azurerm_subnet.res-8

Instead of res-###, could the resource name be pulled from the name of the resource itself? e.g. the if the subnet is named Admin, instead of azurerm_subnet.res-8, it should be azurerm_subnet.Admin.

If there are duplicate names, it could use the Azure region as a disambiguation - for example if the Admin subnet exists in two vnets, one in East and one in West, it would have azurerm_subnet.Admin and azurerm_subnet.Admin-West.

This would make it easier to navigate the resources in the future - we could standardize and set dependencies based on names rather than having to pinpoint sequentially import-numbered resources.
