I want to keep my RDS instance when I destroyed my pulumi changes. I imported my RDS (no problem with that). But whenever I finished my tutorial/experiment, I'd like to destroy everything except for the RDS. Right now, I'm using
```pulumi state delete urn:pulumi:production::blog::aws:rds/instance:Instance::blog```
After that, I'll uncomment the code rds code and run `pulumi destroy`

Is that the way to do this or there's a better way to achieve this?

I don't think so. If you use `protect: true` then it prevents the destory, iirc. You need to remove it from the state to leave it after a destroy.

You could alternatively comment out all the _other_ code, run `up`, then `pulumi stack rm`.
