if I create a

new aws.resource.Thing()

but don’t use it anywhere else, does it still get created? I’m wondering if I need to comment out the

new

call, or if I can just comment out the place where it’s used (lambda layer)

The

new

call declares it, yes. When you run

pulumi up

, the new call will result in the resource being created. If you comment it and run

pulumi up

, that particular resource will be destroyed.

Thanks 🙂
