is it possible to import an existing aws-loggroup into a new stack state so it won't be recreated or error out that it already exists? I want to import only the state not generate any code

both stacks are using the same code, hence importing the loggroup resource from another stack won't be compatible when I deploy the previous stacks

then it seems you’re looking for “get functions” https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/resources/get/

still won't work as both stacks share the same code, e.g.: stack1 is creating the resource stack2 is also creating the same resource what I need is to import the state of the resource created by stack1 so stack2 will not attempt to recreate it and just use it as it's already created

You could create the stack1, then put into stack2's config the AWS resource URN (or whatever is needed for the reference) and in the code you put condition: if there is the reference in the config - use the resource by reference with the Get Function, otherwise create a new resource. Though it doesn't feel like idiomatic approach to me, it could be a workaround if you don't have too many stacks to remember to pass the reference everywhere needed

yes, that would work, though I found a different solution

cool, thanks for sharing

anytime buddy
