@pulumi/tailscale/TailnetKey

is the specific resource I’d like to not store / recompute on each reference.

you probably can utilise something from

random

with

keepers

set to e.g. current timestamp. Like, create a

random.RandomUuid

resource (which will be recreated every time the timestamp of the pulumi run changes - which means every

up

) and have your

TailnetKey

either be a child of that UUID or depend on it. wdyt?

I'm not familiar with those two packages, but from what you describe I can see how it would work. Thanks for the suggestion! I actually ended up going a different route; though it's not necessarily what I'll stick to going forward. I ended up making the key reusable and having a longer shelf life. The prior settings had been my preferred production settings; and I was forcing myself to use them in a development context which was unnecessarily painful.
