The process covers finding the stack, reviewing migration status breakdowns (Ready, Not found, No exact match), running bulk imports via Pulumi Neo or manually, resolving edge cases like inline IAM policies and CDK custom resources, and validating the migration with a zero-diff pulumi preview. The approach never modifies the cloud to match the code, and supports progressive migration for large stacks. The same flow also applies to Azure Resource Manager and Terraform-managed stacks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
