If you create a resource in Pulumi, then delete that resource out of band (ex. in the AWS console), would you expect the next run of

pulumi up

to realize this and re-create the instance? This is obviously what TF does but I have just tested this and it doesn't realize the resource got deleted manually.

I’d typically do a

pulumi refresh

hmm, issue is that refresh fails to complete due to some issue with my K8s cluster 😞
