No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

Pulumi Community

You can use aliases. Docs are here: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#aliases> and there's a great blog post on refactoring using aliases here <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/cumundi-guest-post/>

Aliases apply to the Pulumi name (1st parameter to constructor). If you mean the resource name in your cloud provider (e.g. the "bucket" property of an S3 bucket), then ignoreChanges should work.
