Question

Hi all I m trying to assign my RDS instance with a final snapshot containing the actual ID of the instance which is dynamic and determine by Pulumi and I want to keep it that way I couldn t find anything in the SDK enable me to update the instance s final snapshot ID after declaring the new rds instance I imagine something like ```db apply x = gt db set finaleSnapshotId `prefix $ x id ``` Does anyone here have an experience with that Thanks slightly smiling face

That won t be possible There is no way to use Pulumi to update an existing RDS instance except via the constructor parameters

You can set the identifier yourself override Pulumi s random value and use that in the final snapshot ID So you can reproduce Pulumi s identifier generating logic and use the same random value for both the identifier and finalSnapshotIdentifier args But you cannot use Pulumi s internally generated value in both places

Pulumi uses the name and the RandomId resource <https www pulumi com registry packages random api docs randomid > to generate most id values you can do that too
