Question about renaming a resource - if I have a resource and want to change its name, I use the

aliases

option to indicate the old name to pulumi to avoid re-creating the resource. After I run

pulumi up

are all traces of the old name gone from the state? Is it safe to now remove the

aliases

option, or do I need to keep all the old names around as aliases for posterity?

If you've successfully run

up

all old names will be gone. Generally people leave them in because they have multiple stacks and not all update at the same time. If your sure all stacks have been updated past the point the alias was added it's safe to remove it.

Thanks!
