Hey Team!

So we started using Pulumi with a self managed backend sitting in an s3 bucket as we were trying it out, but we've been using it for a while now and were thinking maybe it would be good to migrate from a self hosted backend to the cloud solution. Ideally, it would be good to do this without re-creating our resources.

Is there a pattern/recommended way to achieve this?

Hey James, yes you can use Pulumi stack import and export commands to achieve this. Here is an example of how to do this with a stack: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/state/#migrating-between-state-backends>

And sorry, I don't know how I missed this on google T_T

No worries, happy to help :+1::skin-tone-5:
