Pulumi Community

Hi <@U01Q2NASYN9>. I agree with you. I added a feature request for this. <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7033>

Have you found a decent workaround in the meantime?

yeah, i've added a "create" flag to all groups of resources (i.e. the primary component resources) that allows me to turn them on and off.. i.e. remove all resources related to a cluster. or remove everything except the resource group and keyvaults.

not optimal, but useful functionality regardless - I can also use it to tune things like if a deployment needs scalesets or vms or container registries at all and suchlike.
