To the best of my knowledge Pulumi does this automatically. You don't need to exclude them. If you didn't change their definition they will not be updated. Only that which changed will be updated. Pulumi shows a list of elements it'll update when it prompts you for yes/no on the execution.

You can choose to only update some subset of a stack, but there’s no way to exclude. You can do that via

pulumi up --target <urn>

(you can specify multiple

--target

) and

--target-dependents

if you want dependents to be included.

have you checked

protect

?

@icy-jordan-58549 Yeah, I think it only protects against deletion which not what I'm worried about
