Hi, need help with

pulumi import

when storing this in local file after this command

pulumi import aws:ec2/instance:Instance myInstanceName i-0ba17989210ad396a

i get this output (and a .pulumi/aws_test.json file with whole EC2 instance):

import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

eu1tst_rhtestloadgen002 = aws.ec2.Instance("eu1tst-rhtestloadgen002",
    ami="ami-04c89a19fea29f1f0",
    ebs_optimized=True,
    get_password_data=False,
    instance_type="c4.2xlarge",
    source_dest_check=True,
    tags={
        "Name": "eu1tst-rhtestloadgen002"
    },
    opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(protect=True))

this works fine when running

pulumi up

and i get no changes. but how do i make volume changes on existing AWS EC2 instance after import?

you should just be able to modify the code. When you run

pulumi up

it'll show you the changes

yes, that works, if i want to change

instance_type

but how do i change IOPS on a ebs_block_devices

Did you try this parameter? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/ec2/instance/#instanceebsblockdevice

Thanks that helped me some. I noticed that when changing

ebs_block_devices

pulumi wants to destroy that disk and create a new one 🙂 but i dont want to do that.

If Pulumi wants to destroy when you modify the instance that’s likely because the upstream api doesn’t support attaching the volume without recreating
