There are resourceoptions you can define with the resource to control things like that where the provider may not already do.
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/options/>
the two that are probably notable for this one is replaceOnChanges and deleteBeforeReplace

there is also a `--target-replace` option on pulumi up.  i dont know if that would do exactly what your looking for.

Hmm. What if i change something on it, that doesn't require the resource to be recreated - Wouldn't it than also be recreated each time?

I'd only want this to happen, specifically when theres a change that requires it, if you know what i mean


Regarding --target-replace. This might be what i'm looking for, although i'd prefer to be able to manually "taint" something before, and then let a pipeline of some sort handle the actual pulumi up run.

I'll take in any ideas!

You can specify which option within the resource will trigger the replacement, so you can define it to only replace if foo changes, but update if bar changes.

This might be the solution then. I appreciate the help!
