Hello, Forgive my limited experience with Pulumi. Also, let me know if this should have been asked in the #aws channel as I am fairly new to your Slack. We had to recently employ a CloudFormation based solution largely from [1] for IAM Access Key rotation. I'm trying to go back and fix up our existing Pulumi golang code my team inherited to play nicely with these IAM Access Key rotation facilities until we can get it re-implemented using Pulumi. I have tried using either
pulumi.Import(pulumi.ID(accessKey.AccessKeyId))
or building an
ignoreList []string
and filling it with these key ids and feeding this list into
pulumi.IgnoreChanges(ignoreList)
but neither prevents things from showing Pulumi is going to delete IAM keys that it had previously created. The existing code was always doing an
iam.NewAccessKey(...)
and now I'm not doing this if a key is found by querying
iam.GetAccessKeys(...)
. I'm guessing this is related but the documentation I found around importing resources and coexistence didn't lead me beyond what I mention above. Any thoughts our suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [1] https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-iam-access-key-auto-rotation
Sorry to answer my own question but I didn't understand how the pulumi.Import() worked and hadn't put it in the various function calls I was using. After doing this the preview diff and up details look much more sane.
