Hello, I'm new to Pulumi and I have a question about importing existing hosted zones in Pulumi in Go. So I bought a domain name in AWS and I want to use the hosted zone that was generated. I used this command:

pulumi import aws:route53/zone:Zone example.xyz Z0243U76JHV73LKJH98TRS90

and I got this code

package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v6/go/aws/route53"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := route53.NewZone(ctx, "lis-dev.xyz", &route53.ZoneArgs{
			Comment: pulumi.String("HostedZone created by Route53 Registrar"),
			Name:    pulumi.String("example.xyz"),
		}, pulumi.Protect(true))
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

I used it in my code, but when I want to deploy it (

pulumi up

) I get this error

error: Preview failed: resource "urn:pulumi:xxx::yyy::aws:route53/zone:Zone::example.xyz" cannot be deleted
    because it is protected. To unprotect the resource, either remove the `protect` flag from the resource in your Pulumi program and run `pulumi up`, or use the command:
    `pulumi state unprotect 'urn:pulumi:xxx::yyy::aws:route53/zone:Zone::example.xyz'

So, I don't know if I have to delete the hosted zone, but it would mean that all the records will be lost. Anyone can help me ?

I noticed that importing with protection was too problematic for me. Import didn't fetch all the data and

pulumi up

would want to update some attributes during next run. I'd suggest to unprotect imported resources and check changes with

pulumi preview --diff

first, before running

pulumi up

Later, when your infrastructure is stable and there are no changes in preview I'd consider protecting crucial resources.
