Question

Hi all looking for any guidance if anyone s encountered needing an old `pulumi resource aws` version but i can t install v3 30 1 since I m on a new M1 mac trying to take over a 1 year old deployment built with intel is it possible to upgrade it to latest ~5 10 0 and still use the same state file on <http pulumi com|pulumi com> I m trying to avoid needing to manually import everything already deployed is it possible to get the old stacks updated to the latest aws provider

In theory you could export the old stack update the dependencies and import it But the risk of being affected by an incompatible API is very high given how far apart the versions are so I wouldn t do this

Just use a different computer Maybe you could fire up a short lived EC2 instance or similar in order to use the current code Then once you ve upped with updated dependencies you can start working from your Mac

just use another computer yeah is great but what a pain i don t want to have a trail of different computers ec2 images for old deploys is there no way to bring a stack onto a newer aws provider just not sure how to upgrade a dev env stack to use a newer `pulumi providers aws` even with access to the old intel stack and installing all the latest pulumi versions the stack is still pinned to use `3 30 1` instead of latest `5 10 0`

< square ability 48831> you can start a docker container with the right arch ```docker run entrypoint bash rm it platform linux amd64 pulumi pulumi``` Then update the provider version in the stack ```npm update pulumi aws``` You ll need to run a successful deploy with the old and new version to update the provider version ```pulumi up``` From then on you can go back to your machine

Wouldn t that require the current binaries to run But they don t because they re not built for the M1 At least I thought that was the problem

I would think you d be able to use the older Intel binaries on the M1 via Rosetta Not the same but I was accidentally running the Intel version of Go on my M1 for several months before I realized face palm skin tone 2
