Hoi ! I was wondering how you guys iterate over naming conventions in a pulumi stack ? Say you have you have function

genId

prefixing all your ids with the environment. i.e.

prod-<id>

but then later you change your mind and you want to use

<id>-prod

instead and change

genId

i know there are aliases, however, these are not really helpful when you use a function

genId

to generate these ids. For this change you would need to go through all the code and add an

aliases

section, and add the results of the old version of

genId

. Is there a better way ? Right now the quickest solution i found without using aliases is to call

pulumi destroy

. Thankfully i don’t care about uptime at the moment.

I think you should be able to define a transformation to add an alias property to all those resources: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#transformations
