In the terraform gcp code for an instance template there's the ability to set lifecycle data but I do not see the equivalent in pulumi. am I missing something or is the not present?

There are equivalents for all of the Terraform lifecycle options in Pulumi resource options. See https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#resourceoptions. Is there a particular Terraform option you are looking to emulate in Pulumi?

Nice!!

I'm looking to create an

InstanceGroupManager

which in the terraform code looks like it depends on the lifecycle to be set to

CreateBeforeDestroy

in the

InstanceTemplate

Pulumi does create before destroy by default. You can set the inverse (doesn’t sound like you want to in this case) with https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#deletebeforereplace.

@gentle-diamond-70147 thanks, appears I don't need it then

Right.
