Terraform import based on tags

[charlottemach]

Use-cases

Currently importing existing infrastructure into terraform state files supports only one resource at a time and will only support collections in the future. This is done by giving an ID to import.
There is no way of running import based on tags.

Attempted Solutions

Provider: AWS

Retrieving the IDs with aws cli commands (with --tag-filters), and importing them one by one.

Proposal

Being able to run terraform import all --tag=name:value or something like it, would make importing resources a lot cleaner. Adding that to the feature for multiple resource import would be useful.
