This will cause serious problem if we are in the production environment

When changing the parent, you'll also need to set up an alias so pulumi knows where to move state to

Thanks <@U04D2DBKUF9> useful information
also if I set parent for a resource, does pulumi skip delete of child resource when deleted parent? or I have to explicitly set deletedWith?

there is no information about this in the parent option docs

`alias` is a ResourceOptions config.

Guide on usage here: <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/cumundi-guest-post/>

You'd need `deletedWith` to skip the delete

Sorry, I did not understood, if I set the `parent` in the child resource option, does pulumi skip deleting child when deleted parent?

I can confirm that this is not working

I have a secret code that the parent resource option is set to a postgress  Role, however it has not been deleted in real.  ( as you can see these secret already exist <https://gist.github.com/atazangene/e332f0244dd87fd79f3da138f76a1a06>

If you do a pulumi refresh, do they show up in the stack again?

Does the `role` have `deletedWith=instance` or something like that?

`deletedWith` may have inherited in this case due to `parent=role` .

I have deleted the parent: role and it has been deleted successfully

nice.
I'm surprised `deletedWith` gets inherited this way

but I think it would be better to show two version of deleted status in console like (deleted / deleted by parent )

feature was implemented here, worth commenting on it with your unexpected behaviour: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12158>

Though Frassle has already mentioned this limitation

imo, it's a breaking change, and one that won't show up until someone does deletes; not all too common except with ephemeral stacks (like yours) or if you're doing cleanup.
