I’d like to know if its possible to use “create if not exists” semantics for a k8s secret using pulumi, has anyone done that?

You’re looking for <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/how-to-guides/managing-resources-with-server-side-apply/#upsert-a-resource|this> :slightly_smiling_face:

I took a look, the upsert looks promising.  It appears to do “insert if does not exist, update if it does exist” - which I guess is your typical upsert :slightly_smiling_face:. Do you know if there is a way to do “insert if does not exist, otherwise do nothing”?

I don’t know of a built-in way to do that, but you could write that logic either using the `pulumi-command` provider + kubectl, or with a language-specific k8s client library as part of your program.
