I found it a bit inconsistent that for some resources I need to remove the

import

option for already imported resources (and perhaps add

aliases

) otherwise pulumi will try to replace them, but it can stay for k8s resources and no replacement would happen. What can be the reason for that?

You should never need to remove

import

until a resource needs to be replaced due to some other change you have made. This should not be related to the kind of resource. What resource are you seeing that you need to remove this from? And what replacement is happening?

Ok figured, this happens when the

name

property is set originally. The problem is some resources do really need the name to be set.
