Question

any recommendations on splitting an existing stack into two separate ones

ambitious-father-68746 · Answer

The way I ve done it before is 1 Create the new stack 2 Export the first stack and import it into the second stack 3 For each stack get a list of URNs that you want to delete 4 Run `pulumi state delete lt URN gt ` for each URN in each stack 5 Done Your mileage may vary but I find this to be the easiest Building a new stack from scratch and importing resources is just way too time consuming The old stack already has all the information

To get the URNs `jq` or a carefully crafted `grep` do the job

Or even just output to a file and edit by hand doesn t really matter as long as you feel comfortable with it

Great thank you

Save a copy of the old stack just in case slightly smiling face

The interesting bit is that you don t need to touch any resource during this operation After you split the stacks and do `pulumi up` on both of them nothing should change If that s the case success If you think you screwed up load the backup and try again
