Pulumi Community

Hello,
I have a resource A (EC2 instance) that indirectly depends on a resource B (an S3 object). I have the following set on A:
opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(
                parent=self,
                depends_on=B)
When I update B, I want Pulumi to replace A. Can I make this work in Pulumi? I do see the `replaceOnChanges` option, but it looks like that only works for resource properties?

Does `dependsOn` help? <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/options/dependson/>

As I understand it, dependsOn will just ensure "resource creation, update, and deletion operations are done in the correct order." It won't cause a resource to be replaced if a dependency is updated.

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/11577> &lt;- Issue tracking a slightly more general feature that would enable this
