I start with a deployment with some resources.
Then I manually delete some of them - for example a storage bucket or a VM.
Later, I would like to get the deployment to the state that is defined in the config file, so I run
`gcloud deployment-manager deployments update ...`, where the default policy is CREATE OR ACQUIRE.
The process finishes and is green, displaying no errors, deployment manager in console pretends everything is fine. The manually deleted resources however do not get redeployed.

The deployment needs to be deleted completely and created anew to recreate those resources.

This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?

Is it any hope? We have migrated our IP address to the server with different role, and now the name of this IP address resource doesn't match its role at all. It seems to be trivial enough to momentary reserve static IP address of the old named resource, drop resource, and immediately recreate it with the new name and the old IP address.
