Question

Hello everyone I have a stack created by using the default AWS provider if I create a new provider as a replacement for the default one Pulumi tries to recreate all objects with the new provider Is there any way to disable resource recreation in case of a provider change

Not sure I ll need to double check it but you probably have to migrate the resources using aliases

Thanks I ll take a look I m trying to replace the default provider in a stack but no luck so far

I ve just taken a quick look at aliases but I cannot find there any field `provider` there I d need to dig a little bit more What programming language are you using

brash-kite-78002 · Answer

Typescript Thank you again for your time

I did a successful provider change in the stack itself but it s quite a cumbersome operation We have a bunch of the stacks so I would definitely like to avoid it

Afaik you can achieve this only via stack export edit import It s pretty laborious

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You could create the new provider import the existing resources using the new provider then `state delete` all the old resources but I don t know if that s any less laborious Probably has better error messages

I think I ve found the easiest way If one would run `pulumi up` specifying only the created provider Pulumi will update all resources with the new provider and won t replace them For instance `pulumi up target urn pulumi aizi test cluster uat uat pulumi providers aws commonAwsProvider`

Wow did that work Good to know That question does get asked from time to time Might be a good candidate for putting on GitHub Discussions <https github com pulumi pulumi discussions>
