you might be able to more easily figure out what these dependencies are through the AWS console. for example, try deleting the VPC through the console and see what the popup message says

i mean i do not want to remove it. for some reason pulumi thought i want to delete it

now every time i run up. its trying to delete that vpc

You changed something in your program that's causing pulumi to think you want it deleted. It could be that you renamed it or you accidentally removed the class instantiation from your code, etc.

yes you are right. is there away to skip this task?

nope! you will need to fix your program to not delete the VPC. any other way would be breaking the declarative model of Pulumi

it shows up on the up. exactly same resource.

<https://puu.sh/JeNvt/a32d3ec590.png>

no, these are different resources. the first is `eks-vpc-vpc` and the second is `rds-vpc-vpc`

interesting, the preview doesn't say it will delete the VPC but `up` attempts to delete it? Can you try running `pulumi refresh` just to rule out weird state drift

exactly. I have tried `pulumi refresh` and it did'nt help

`pulumi refresh`
```Resources:
    43 unchanged

Duration: 4s```

here is the details from `pulumi up` <https://gist.github.com/k1ng440/3567eaeb804e680b2d0a5598b8292d99>

i don't know, this is weird :neutral_face:

what if you try `import`ing the VPC?

oh, so the text output shows that the VPC will be deleted. maybe the console output is buggy and didn't display it

can you verify in your typescript code that you DO have a VPC named `"rds-vpc-vpc"`

in your code where you're creating the VPC can you try `import`ing the VPC

something like this: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/adopting/import/#pulumi-import-resource-operation>

since i am just developing it the IaC, I just removed pulumi stack and i will use this to nuke the aws account
