Hello guys I m looking into pulumi which looks great I have a question about resource that can t be updated Say I have a GKE cluster running production workloads I want to change the machine type Manually I would follow this tutorial <https cloud google com kubernetes engine docs tutorials migrating node pool> Is there a way to do this gracefully with pulumi

Because from my understanding pulumi promotes the imperative declaration of a state Can I order it to create a resource then delete it a sequence the same way I can with database migration Alembic or the likes

Got my answer better off coding it myself Pulumi still use a declarative engine driven by impetative languages

< helpful holiday 1475> This is actually how resource replacement works by default

creamy-potato-29402 · Answer

If you do something that causes us to replace something we will create the new version first and then delete the old version

UNLESS you manually specify `name` in which case we will delete before replace
