I was astonished to learn that you can sort of scrape your from-console resources into a CloudFormation template, but you cannot get a stack to manage them inplace. Instead you have to blow them away (manually!) and have CloudFormation create a new stack from scratch, because it only touches stuff it created with hidden stack tags.

Terraform import is pretty painful but at least it can handle this.
