I noticed

name

is different in

outputs

and

inputs

in the json state file. If I make them congruent, Pulumi doesn’t want to replace this resource anymore. I am not sure what broke these

name

in the state. Could have been updates to Pulumi and GCP provider. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As you figured out,

name

is the reason that the replacement was suggested. To answer your original question: if an attribute changes in your preview, and if that attribute has the recycle icon in the registry docs, then a replace is required. For example, in this case, the docs are here: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/gcp/api-docs/compute/address/#properties And

name

has the recycle icon:

@little-cartoon-10569 The thing is the

name

didn’t change in GCP. For some reasons they regenerated in

inputs

of the state.

Yes, I can't answer that part. It has happened to me in the past too. Generally,

pulumi refresh

eventually fixes it, but the effort involved is significant. I generally associate this with changing providers, but I have no proof.
