Hi everybody, Question: What’s the best way to rename a helm release without downtime? Context: I made a mistake naming a
helm release
and wanted to renamed it. Ideally, I wish to prevent pulumi/helm from creating a replacement, so I tried to do so by using the
aliases
flag on the
ComponentResourceOptions
. However, after aliasing and changing both the name of the pulumi resource and the
helm.Release
component
name
field, I noted that no changes are being applied.

I think if you alias and just change the name, no changes will be applied but your stack state will be modified to include the new name
and then a subsequent change remove the alias

Right, so what you’re describing relates to pulumi state, but not actual cloud resources. Interesting…
