Hi there,
Sorry, how does using an alias resolve the issue?

My RDS is a protected resource
If I rename the resource and put the old name in the aliases array then I face the same issue of pulumi wanting to delete my resource

My goal is the same as Diogo’s
I want to just replace `name` with `dbName`
The values will be the same

<@U022ADYFYL8> Did you figure it out? We're running into the same issue where just setting `aliases=[pulumi.Alias(name="old_name")],`  is not enough.
