are you sure you're using the right kubeconfig?
if you ran refresh and you're connecting to a different cluster i'd expect it to try recreate

07/15/2021, 7:18 AMWell I’ve set the cluster name in my config, but it is possible it was using a local kubeconfig that doesn’t exist any more
will that be tracked as part of the provider?
@steep-toddler-94095 is that something I can do directly via.
pulumiThe state bucket has no snapshots atm
One of my concerns about moving some of our more critical apps to Pulumi is the state tracking and getting into a scenario where we have to re-import state and such. We’ve always used Helm which just did a 3 way merge with state from inside a K8s secret, and held the history.
This is only a small app and I could happily nuke the entire thing and reprovision it, but I couldn’t do that with our stateful production apps
This might highlight the need for state snapshots earlier than I’d expected, and I’d even be open to trying the Pulumi service (I’ve just been holding off while we get to grips with Pulumi as a tool), but I wonder if there’s a story for recovering this state.
I’m checking out
pulumi imports

07/15/2021, 4:03 PMare you using S3 for state? if so, there should be a backup statefile with the most recent previous state next to your statefile called
<stackname>.json.bakaws s3 cp.bakagree it would be nice if pulumi did something like the 3 way merge

07/16/2021, 9:46 AMIt’s in a GCS bucket and I totally forgot about the history/backups
Is this a totally manual process or something that can be done via the pulumi CLI?
@steep-toddler-94095 Thanks for that reminder. I've restored an older version from the
backups👍 1
