Hey All, I've got a question about using pulumi.. is there a philosophical equivalent to `terraform taint` ?  i.e. tell pulumi to destroy and recreate a resource, even though the definition hasn't changed.  I've done some cursory searching, and I know I can delete state from a stack manually, but that doesn't seem to delete the resource behind the state (e.g. the AWS EC2 instance).

Seems like this command line option is what you want?

OK, thanks for the heads up.  I'll take a look.

I played around with it a bit .. it looks like you also want `--target-dependents` or you'll end up not triggering important parts of your dependency graph (e.g. updating Route53 A records) ... `pulumi up --target-dependents --target-replace my:urn` worked for me
