Question

Hi Pulumi team I m wondering if there are any tutorials articles on splitting a large project into multiple subprojects Right now I have thousands of resources all originating from the same index ts Most of them are created implicitly as children of things like EKS clusters cofig groups etc For various reasons I d like to split it into 4 5 subprojects and I m wondering what would be the most efficient way of doing this without disrupting existing infrastructure I guess my main challenge is around properly renaming all URNs and ensuring that a new state won t trigger any unexpected updates Thanks for any help

Generally you won t need to worry about URNs You can bulk import resources to a new stack <https www pulumi com docs guides adopting import bulk import operations> Then just `pulumi state delete` all those resources You may also consider moving resources from index ts to ComponentResources but that can happen later

I think my problem with import amp delete is this point down note the number of lines It s not really feasible to move all those things one by one I wish I could do `state delete` `import` only on top level resources and expect it to be applied to all children but pulumi doesn t work this way for some reason

Would you be able to do the reverse Move rename the stack so that most resources move to the right place then move the minority back to the original stack

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

While bulk importing is easy enough the only way to do a bulk state delete is to export the stack remove the relevant resources and re import the stack This is obviously a higher risk solution

Of course you could script the state delete It ll take longer to write the script them update the state one resource at a time but it ll be less boring and safer slightly smiling face

Yeah I think scripting the whole process is what I m going to do I hope it will eventually be possible to perform operations like this using the pulumi CLI itself slightly smiling face
