Is it not possible to import it to the new resource, in order to avoid delete/recreate?
If it's not, then the easiest solution is to comment out the "new" place it goes, run 
up
to delete it, then put the new code back in and 
up
again.

Thanks! How would I go about importing it to the new resource? Manually edit the state file somehow?
l
Sometimes that's necessary, but usually you can add 
import: <importid>
to the 
opts
of the new place. What the value of the importid is, is usually the trick.

Amazing! Thank you so much 🙂

If your provider is based on one of the Terraform providers (e.g. AWS), then the Terraform docs describe the import ids at the bottom of the corresponding doc page on https://terraform.io
Don't forget to remove the 
import
opt after you've imported it.

Great, thanks a ton, yep I'm working on EKS so that should do the trick. I'll keep in mind to remove the import

@elegant-island-39916 in case you need it in the future, we have the provider options 
deleteBeforeReplace
https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#deletebeforereplace which will do what you originally asked for
