09/19/2023, 3:15 PMHey all, anyone knows how to make pulumi deploy my stack to an entirely new AWS account?
I created a stack with all resources, based on my current account. The goal was to switch to IaC as a way of life. Now, in order to test, my company set up a new account, and aims to run the stack on it - in order to test we are on par.
I worked with the documentation (set a new env variables for access key and secret key of the new account), ran 'pulumi preview' and yet - I get 403, even though I'm sure the credentials I typed are correct
Anyone knows how to make the switch?

did you create a new stack? or use the existing stack?

you can’t move all the resources. What’s the end goal here? All the resources in account A now live in new account B?

I would just destroy stack A with
pulumi destroypulumi upunless you need to migrate data, in which case you’re going to have to do some lifting

09/19/2023, 3:21 PMNo need to migrate data, simply create the same resource on the new env
And how would I go changing the credentials? Is it written somewhere in pulumi beside the .aws?

how did you initially set them?

okay, so credentials are associated to a stack
so do the following:
Copy code
# make sure you're authenticated to the original account
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=whatever your key is
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=whatever your secret key is
pulumi destroy
# then set up new environment variables for the new account
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="new access key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="new secret key"
pulumi ups
