To do the same thing without aliases is more complex and probably not worth it in a big reworking like this, but I've used this approach with one or two resources at a time and it's a clean and repeatable process. 1. Freeze all changes except for this! It's a multistep process. Backup your state (

pulumi stack output --file x.json

). 2. Comment / flag out all the resources that will be changing, so that you create all their parents correctly without importing anything. 3. Comment / flag out the original resources and remove them from state (

pulumi state delete

). 4. Run

pulumi import --parent ...

to import the resources to the correct place. 5. Comment / flag in the new code for the resources, making it look like the code that Pulumi generated. 6. Tidy up old commented / flagged-out code. 7.

to check everything in state matches.
