have you tried refreshing? `pulumi refresh`?

yes. that did not work. however, even if it did work, the whole point is to be able to make these kinds of changes, such as vertically scaling a cluster, without having to manually run more commands. the moment i have to run `pulumi refresh` because a `pulumi up` failed out, i have defeated the purpose.

This should be detected automatically by the provider, and the resources should be replaced as you expect. The provider has logic that attempts to detect if the cluster has changed, but perhaps it didn’t work in this case. Can you file an issue with more details on the pulumi/kubernetes repo?
