08/30/2022, 7:56 AMif it's not tracked in Pulumi state, then pulumi cannot delete it
Let's say you had Pulumi create a k8s Service and creates a corresponding ALB. You can "have Pulumi delete" the ALB by changing your Service to not be associated with a Cloud LB, but it's not Pulumi that's deleting the resource - it's whatever integration that created the resource in the first place.
