Hi. The cluster has already been deployed with

helm

, now I am switching to pulumi, I am seeing this

resource already exists

error:

kubernetes:<http://rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1:RoleBinding|rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1:RoleBinding> (kube-system/example-cert-manager-qa:leaderelection):
    error: resource kube-system/example-cert-manager-qa:leaderelection was not successfully created by the Kubernetes API server : <http://rolebindings.rbac.authorization.k8s.io|rolebindings.rbac.authorization.k8s.io> "example-cert-manager-qa:leaderelection" already exists

yes, you'll need to import it. Pulumi doesn't know about it, so you'll have to import it into state

Why can’t I perform a refresh?

because refresh compares state to existing, and it's not in your state

Thanks. That really explains.
