Question

So is there a way to Unimport a resource Basically we have service roles that we don t want in the stack anymore because they re not something we manage seeing as that they re automatically generated So after having imported them into the Pulumi stack we want to remove them from the stack but not have them removed from our actual AWS We can do this manually currently by removing the code and manually deleting the resources from the stack but is there anything like an ` unimport ` feature that can simply remove things from the pulumi stack without changing anything in AWS

gt We can do this manually currently by removing the code and manually deleting the resources from the stack Just to make sure I m understanding correctly you do this by deleting the relevant resources from the state file and reimporting Or `pulumi state delete`

we don t re import we just leave them out of the state file because we don t want them tracked by pulumi anymore

which is what I m hoping the ` unimport ` feature might do basically remove it from the stack but not AWS

We don t have a need to manage service linked roles so we re trying to remove them from IAC to reduce clutter basically

gt we don t re import Right I meant re import the state file not the resource

But yeah there is no `unimport` feature I think there is an open issue for the functionality you re describing though but I can t think of it off the top of my head

are you sure I think `pulumi state delete` does exactly this removes a resource from Pulumi state without touching it in the cloud

Heh you re right < steep toddler 94095> I would think that meets the need but it does still require you to remove the code from your program shrug skin tone 4
