I'd expect something like that...

05/05/2021, 5:59 PMNot sure how it will handle with dependency trees though.
I'd recommend what I did last time... generate the stack without any dependencies, just the things the "bottom" tier (dbs, etc.). then import then resources manually using the CLI. then build it up and import the rest as you go...
Labour intensive, but it works.

05/05/2021, 5:59 PMif this is the best route, I'd be happy to give it a go

05/05/2021, 6:00 PMYou'd need to have the resource in both stacks.

05/05/2021, 6:01 PMneed to recreate all of the stacks and just gradually delete the old projects once they're deprecated?\

05/05/2021, 6:01 PMit will still exist in the original stack, but you'll have it in the new stack too... then just iterate the new stack until you get to the point where a

05/05/2021, 6:01 PMyeah. I think ultimately, if you can... just delete the old stacks as soon as possible, and just work on getting them managed by the new stacks.

05/05/2021, 6:02 PMthe ideal stance would be:
• Delete the old stack, but leave all the resources in place.
• Start adding to a new stack, resource by resource
• When the new stack shows a pulumi up with no changes, you're golden.
