FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Pulumi provider versions without causing unintended cloud changes?▼

You can upgrade Pulumi provider versions safely by tracking version changes, categorizing preview diffs, and directly addressing API compatibility issues to ensure cloud resources remain unchanged post-upgrade. Required manual interventions are documented to mitigate deployment issues.

What is the best way to handle breaking changes when updating Pulumi providers?▼

The best way to handle breaking changes is by assessing categorized preview diffs and directly fixing translation issues caused by API changes. This minimizes cloud state changes and manages deployment issues through provider update handling and reconciliation processes.

How does Pulumi provider reconciliation work during an upgrade?▼

Pulumi provider reconciliation works by identifying and categorizing preview diffs during upgrades to assess cloud state changes. It directly addresses API compatibility issues and provides guidelines for manual interventions to ensure cloud resources remain unchanged post-upgrade.

Can I use this provider upgrade process across multiple Pulumi projects?▼

Yes, the provider upgrade process is applicable across Pulumi projects to manage version control and mitigate deployment issues. It streamlines provider upgrades by handling breaking changes and managing cloud state reconciliation for any infrastructure stack requiring updates.

Why does updating a Pulumi provider result in unexpected cloud state changes?▼

Unexpected cloud state changes during a Pulumi provider update occur due to API compatibility issues and breaking changes in the new version. The upgrade process mitigates this by categorizing preview diffs and fixing translation issues to minimize unintended cloud changes.

Do I need to manually fix translation issues after a Pulumi provider upgrade?▼

Yes, manual steps may be required after a Pulumi provider upgrade to address API changes that cannot be resolved automatically. The upgrade process documents guidelines for these required manual interventions to ensure cloud resources remain unchanged post-upgrade.
