so, like select a resource by name, apiVersion, kind, namespace, etc, and then ignore a specific field within it

is there a way to do specify an ignoreChanges like a transformation? (make it dynamic)

the only thing I can think of right now is do some preprocessing of the yaml before passing it (and the ignoreChanges array) to the

ConfigGroup

resource

oh, there's an example of modifying resource options on the docs. You can substitute

Alias

for

IgnoreChanges

. https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/yaml/configgroup/#yaml-with-transformations

because the ConfigGroup produces the other resources, using a transformation allows me to inject other resourceOptions, such as

ignoreChanges

into specific resources.

Thanks!

I'll try this out and see if I run into any problems

// Set a resource alias for a previous name.
func(state map[string]interface{}, opts ...pulumi.ResourceOption) {
	if state["kind"] == "Deployment" {
		aliases := pulumi.Aliases([]pulumi.Alias{
			{
				Name: pulumi.String("oldName"),
			},
		})
		opts = append(opts, aliases)
	}
},

uh... this shouldn't work...

opts

isn't a pointer.. this append operation would remain local to the this transformation function (it would not be visible to the code that calls this transformation)

maps are pointers though, so it makes sense that changes to a map will be seen from outside the transformation function (after the transformation runs).

am I missing something?
