These are the parameters that terraform import requires, as they allow Terraform to identify the existing resource that you want to import into your state file, and match it with the corresponding configuration block in your files.

This will trigger a run in the Terraform Cloud workspace, which will perform a plan and apply operation on the infrastructure defined by the Terraform configuration files in the VCS repository.
