No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

Pulumi Community

Are you running pulumi from the same place the resources were created? E.g if you deployed locally but your pulumi is running in CI without the files then it could remove them 

And are you changing the Pulumi name of the function? Changing the name of a resource is the same as removing the old resource and creating a new resource with a different name.

no name change, rather no change at all, pulumi is running from azure pipelines.
