Are there any plans for Pulumi to support detecting k8s.extensions.v1beta1.Deployment as k8s.apps.v1.Deployment for the purposes of migrating them? As in, Pulumi should know these are the same (different versions), and not attempt to create a new resource, but rename the existing one.

I opened an issue for this a little while ago. It looks like there is a workaround using

aliases

now and they are working on automating it. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/issues/546

Thanks for the link
