The code and state generated by

pulumi import

includes a resource option with

protect=True

(https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#protect) Your

pulumi up

is trying to delete the bucket for some reason - I wonder if it’s actually trying to replace it (which includes a delete operation). If you do

pulumi preview --diff

what does it show for the bucket?

I get this error: “error: missing required property ‘region’“, but when I run

pulumi config get aws:region

, it returns “us=east-1”

If that’s not a typo, that’s an error in the config file. It should return

us-east-1

oops, it’s a typo. it does return

us-east-1

When you get the missing region error, the error message includes an example on setting the property, can you share that example?

The aws_native provider has it’s own config so you want to

pulumi config set aws-native:region us-east-1

Thank you! It seems obvious now in hindsight, but I didn’t realize the native provider would have its own config. Setting that fixed my issue with the missing region. And since I’m fairly new to Pulumi, I decided to stick with the classic provider for now for the documentation and example advantages. Having removed the native provider, I again tried my adoption of an existing bucket, and all is working as expected. I’ve tried to recreate my original problem (to develop my understanding) and now I can’t get it to fail. 🤦‍♂️ II appreciate your input on all this!

I have written some code to read EC2 and S3 resources from AWS, and output JSON files that can be utilized for

pulumi import -f
