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?

Typescript. Thank you again for your time!

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

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

Yeah, that works, at least for me. I'll add this information in Github.
