really annoying behavior with protected resources. working on importing stuff into project, and using

pulumi preview

to confirm i'm not altering existing resource as i make project more programmatic, but when the plan strategy is to replace, i just get

Preview failed: unable to delete resource

and am unable to see the diff of why the replace strategy was chosen, which is exactly what i want to understand by generating the preview. any suggestions?

replace usually happens when the upstream cloud provider API or property is immutable, ie you can't update in place You can usually see this in the json diff, can you do

pulumi preview -j

?

okay, that's helpful, thanks
