Hello. If I create a VM and its associated disk and network resources with Pulumi, then manually delete the VM outside of Pulumi, shouldn't the VM get created on the next pulumi up (but not the associated resources)? I'm seeing it take no action.

Just realized that a few minutes after more searching. Wasn't obvious from some of the walkthroughs but maybe I missed it. Thanks

It almost seems intuitive that pulumi up would refresh the state first on its own internally

Terraform does, pulumi decided not to.
You can run `pulumi up --refresh`
