12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the set of import operations are identified from the configuration file.

13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein executing the operations further causes the resource identification service to:

obtain, from the resource discovery data, a second set of parameters with which a second previously existing resource of the cloud-computing environment is to be identified;

execute additional operations to identify the second previously existing resource, the second previously existing resource being identified based at least in part on matching attributes associated with the second previously existing resource to the second set of parameters of the resource discovery data;

identify a second set of import operations to perform to obtain a second identifier corresponding to the second previously existing resource; and

transmit the second identifier corresponding to the second previously existing resource identified based at least in part on executing the second set of import operations.

14. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein executing the operations further causes the resource identification service to execute the set of import operations, wherein executing the set of import operations causes the resource identification service to identify an address corresponding to a location of the previously existing resource or the identifier for the previously existing resource.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause a resource identification service of a cloud-computing environment to:

obtain a configuration file comprising resource discovery data associated with a service, the resource discovery data indicating a set of parameters with which a previously existing resource of the cloud-computing environment is to be identified;

execute operations to identify the previously existing resource, the previously existing resource being identified based at least in part on matching attributes associated with the previously existing resource to the set of parameters of the resource discovery data;
