Yes. Are you usnig `pulumi import`, or `pulumi up` with the `import:` opt? `pulumi import` should generate that for you...

Though.. maybe not, I know in AWS, the service deliberately forgets about the private key. You have to retain that yourself.

Hi, I'm using pulumi import from the <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/gcp/api-docs/compute/sslcertificate/|gcp self managed cert>  instructions.

And it's not generating code for the private key.. then I guess you need to provide it yourself. It's inconvenient, but it makes sense: there's probably no API that Pulumi can use to get the private key from GCP. That's what makes it private...

It's odd though because when doing an import with terraform it works fine with just a reference to the existing certificate name in gcp. The private key and cert exist in gcp so I guess just a reference to the resource is enough?

```terraform import google_compute_ssl_certificate.default {{project}}/{{name}}```


Not sure... maybe share the question over to <#CRFUR2DGB|>? Someone with more specific knowledge might be able to help.
