          comment: my complete secondary connection
    

    Note Instead of using fully_qualified_name, you can reference objects managed outside Terraform by constructing a correct ID, consult identifiers guide.

    Note When creating a snowflake.SecondaryConnection and snowflake.PrimaryConnection in one pulumi up run, the snowflake.SecondaryConnection may return errors, because Snowflake needs some time to register the primary connection before you can create secondary connections based on it. The provider is handling it internally with a retry mechanism, but the time to register may differ and be longer than retry’s maximum wait time. Generally, it is recommended to create the snowflake.PrimaryConnection first, then create the snowflake.SecondaryConnection in a second pulumi up run. If you tried to create both in one run, and it failed, just re-run the pulumi up. The time between both runs should be enough for Snowflake to register the primary connection.

    Note To promote snowflake.SecondaryConnection to snowflake.PrimaryConnection, resources need to be migrated manually. For guidance on removing and importing resources into the state check resource migration. Remove the resource from the state with terraform state rm, then promote it manually using: ALTER CONNECTION <name> PRIMARY; and then import it as the snowflake.PrimaryConnection.

    Note If a field has a default value, it is shown next to the type in the schema.
