Weird problem with helm charts, I have clusters running, using it for months, and i need to update something (no changes to the charts , e.g. ingress-nginx) and it now wants to delete all my charts (not replace them)

I'm not seeing from the screenshot that it wants to delete the charts. I only see the provider identity being changed. Did you change the version of the k8s provider by any chance?

yes, and same code works on a similar cluster in a different region, something is wird in my state i think

Are you using this? https://www.pulumi.com/blog/full-access-to-helm-features-through-new-helm-release-resource-for-kubernetes/

no, still at the old way, i’ll try the new way, maybe it helps

If the provider changes, all the resources need reprovisioned

got it going, pulumi-eks + aws > v5 does not really work
