New in Pulumi IaC: Support for skipping a resource
Managing large-scale infrastructure can be challenging, especially when you need to perform operations on specific subsets of your resources. Pulumi’s stack operations like pulumi up and pulumi destroy are powerful for deploying and tearing down environments, but sometimes you need more fine-grained control over which resources are affected.
Today, we’re excited to announce a highly requested feature that will save you time and reduce complexity in your workflows: the ability to exclude specific resources from stack operations using the new --exclude and --exclude-dependents flags.
These new flags complement the existing --target functionality, giving you powerful options whether you want to focus on a small subset of resources or exclude just a few from larger operations. No more workarounds or custom scripts to achieve selective deployments!
