Hello folks, Quick doubt, is it possible to update an Topic Subscription using Pulumi SDK? I’ve already created an

SNS Topic

but now I want it to have filter policies and may add more in the near future, the thing is that I cannot directly update it because Pulumi says that the resource already exists and won’t update it. Even changing the name of the subscription to try provoking a delete and re-creation won’t work because the Subscription remains and you cannot add a new subscription using the same Topic/Endpoint. Is there any way to achieve this? could not find anything on the docs Thanks in advance!

To resolve the conflict, first import the subscription into your stack: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/options/import/ Then it's under Pulumi's management and you can modify and update it just like any other resource.

Great, will try that, thx!

You can modify it by modifying the stack to which the resource belongs. But you cannot manage the same resource in more than one Pulumi stack at the same time.

The situation is the following (always using the same stack and code): • Have successfully create an SNS Subscription to a Topic as src and SQS as endpoint • Tried to add a new filter policy to that subscription and this fails. Pulumi won’t modify the already existing subscription to add the filter policy because says that the subscription already exists and won’t update it

You'll have to do this modification through the original stack. The following works: First version that you deployed with `pulumi up`:

subscription = aws.sns.TopicSubscription("my-sub", topic=..., protocol="sqs")

And then, later, you modify this code to now read:

subscription = aws.sns.TopicSubscription("my-sub", topic=..., protocol="sqs", filter_policy="...")

And run

pulumi up

again. This will modify the subscription. What you cannot do is have a second stack that just modifies this property of the resource.

I think I’ve found the error
