We've setup our kubernetes cluster following the standard pulumi-kubernetes tutorial, which use

_const_ engineVersion = gcp.container.getEngineVersions().latestMasterVersion

to get the engineVersion. Now we need to add a node pool, but because the

latestMasterVersion

has increased, the

pulumi preview

suggests that the cluster need to be updated because the

minMasterVersion

has increased. Couple of questions here - (i) will pulumi be able to do this without deleting and then re-creating the cluster (ii) in general, is there any way we can know ahead of time whether or not pulumi will destroy and recreate the cluster, versus just updating it in some way?

1. GKE clusters should update in place when you change the version. 2. The preview will show

replace

if it expects to recreate a resource.

update

means that it should happen in place.

Perfect, thank you.
