I changed an azure.network.PublicIp's definition from using

publicIpAddressAllocation

to

allocationMethod

and it takes absolutely ages. is it getting a new IP? i thought it was just a property rename?

That's very strange. Can you share your code so i can see if I can reproduce it?

it's pretty much just

// create a static IP within the cluster RG for the ingress to use
export const clusterIp = new azure.network.PublicIp("ClusterIp", {
    name: "ClusterIp",
    location: "westeurope",
    resourceGroupName: cluster.nodeResourceGroup,
    allocationMethod: "Static"
});
