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?

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>. 

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> thanks, appears I don't need it then
