Are other folks here using Pulumi to manage a few kubernetes resources? When bringing up a new stack, it seems like Pulumi would be a good place to install some prerequisites prior to our CD pipeline taking over. However, if I ever need to update those k8s resources,

pulumi up

seemingly tries to re-create them instead of just `kubectl apply`ing over top (which would just update). Anyone else seen this or have a workaround?

can you clarify a bit more what workflow you're using?

Doing exactly this, haven't hit too many issues (raw kube and helm). Also happy to help :)

Two similar scenarios: 1. Deploying a Helm chart, I changed some values passed into the chart after it had been deployed. When I re-run

pulumi up

it partially fails, b/c it tries to re-create the deployment instead of just applying over top. 2. Using

k8s.yaml.ConfigFile

, I deployed several resources. Then, I changed the provider to target a different namespace, which now causes some failures b/c pulumi tries to re-create Cluster-scoped resources instead of ignoring or just applying overtop. I guess those are a bit more nuanced scenarios than I was originally thinking. 🙂

Are you using chart or release for 1?
