Instead of attempting to recreate, add an import to your bucket configuration. Something like new aws.s3.Bucket("name", { ... }, { import "bucketname" }); That will import to the current stack. You can then go back and remove the import. Docs here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#import

Excellent - thank you. I'll give that approach a shot.
