### Name of the resource
AWS::RDS::DBCluster

_No response_
### Description
It is not possible to import RDS instances and clusters into a CDK stack.
It is possible to do it via a snapshot, but this is not ideal and prohibits me from importing pre-existing databases (created with Terraform) to CDK. This approach requires downtime.
Is it in the "roadmap" to support importing these resources in the future?
Thanks!

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource and the CloudFormation import behavior described in the issue, including the snapshot-based approach and existing Terraform resources. Determine the scope needed to support importing RDS instances and clusters into a CDK stack without downtime; done means the supported workflow and requirements are clear and the import succeeds without a snapshot-induced outage.
