I'm trying to understand how to correctly use

deleteBeforeReplace

. I have an SSL certificate which is validated by a DNS record, and I have introduced a

pulumi.ComponentResource

as abstraction / indirection. This causes the identifier to change, which results in it being replaced – but DNS records are of course globally unique:

* creating Route 53 Record: InvalidChangeBatch: [Tried to create resource record set [name='_188ff1aaf1299c19ad8ef397241447ab.staging.staging.zemn.me.', type='CNAME'] but it already exists]
    	status code: 400, request id: 57ec904c-b634-47b1-9165-01954fcd5305

I have

deleteBeforeReplace

set, but I am guessing that since the indirection has been introduced, pulumi doesn't realise that the old and new Records are related. What's the solution here? Change: https://github.com/Zemnmez/monorepo/pull/3635 Thomas

did you set deletebeforereplace and run a successful

up

before making any other changes?

I made a PR that landed first that sent in

deleteBeforeReplace

. What I have realised though is that pulumi doesn't know a replace is taking place due to the refactoring
