how do I make a stack in the format organzation/stack1/stack2? I would like a stack to be an explicit child of a parent stack if possible.

This isn’t currently possible.

when I see this I think of parent/child relationships between stacks

     pulumi:pulumi:Stack  dev-eks-dev-charts-system  running.    read pulumi:pulumi:StackReference openphone/dev-eks/dev-eks

The FQSN (fully qualified stack name) is

organization/project/stack

, and AFAIK there’s no way to modify or extend that to allow a stack to be parent to another stack. I’m also not sure of the use case---what was your thought process around this, if I may ask?

just a way of conceptualizing the relationship between stacks vertically.

Sometimes the best questions are asked by those who are new to something. 😄

ty! I'm proud to always be the dumbest person in the room. 🤠

There is no such thing as a dumb question, and therefore you are not the dumbest person in the room. 🙂

This is what I suspected should have existed and be more front and center in pulumi project design https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-auto-deploy

Yes---stacks where there is a dependency (via a StackReference) to another stack, such that changes in one stack might necessitate updates in one of the dependent stacks.
