i think you could  used the pulumi import feature.

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/adopting/import/#adopting-existing-resources>

hm, looks very interesting, thanks! <@UH7UWDRC6>

<@UH7UWDRC6> have you seen any examples? specifically using this with k8s. Thanks

```const secret = new k8s.core.v1.Secret('secret', {
    metadata: {
        labels: {
            ...context.commonLabels
        },
        annotations: context.commonAnnotations
    },

}, {
    import: 'id-of-the-resources'
});```

If you look at your object you’re trying to create, you always have the  `CustomResourceOptions` that have the property `import`

```/**
     * When provided with a resource ID, import indicates that this resource's provider should import its state from
     * the cloud resource with the given ID. The inputs to the resource's constructor must align with the resource's
     * current state. Once a resource has been imported, the import property must be removed from the resource's
     * options.
     */
    import?: ID;```

<@UH7UWDRC6> I understand what you mean, but the problem on my side is AKS (Azure) install coredns on the resouerce init

I have no idea what’s the ID of that config map

basically, it’s configmap created in `kube-system` by azure on cluster init

import id for k8s resources is `[namespace/]name`

e.g., `kube-system/my-config-map`

you can also use the `pulumi import` command to handle this for you

it can’t find it <@UE1LN7A22>, already tried to use `ns/config-map`
