[EXPERIMENTAL] Cancel an in-progress deployment

## Synopsis

[EXPERIMENTAL] Cancel an in-progress deployment.

Terminates an in-progress Pulumi Deployments execution. If the deployment is
currently running, it is stopped immediately. If the deployment is queued but
has not yet started, it is removed from the queue.

Canceling a deployment is a dangerous action and may leave the stack in an
inconsistent state if canceled during the execution of a Pulumi operation.

```
pulumi deployment cancel <deployment-id> [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  # Cancel a deployment of the current stack.
  pulumi deployment cancel dep-abc123

  # Cancel a deployment of a different stack.
  pulumi deployment cancel dep-abc123 --stack acme/web/prod

  # Skip the confirmation prompt.
  pulumi deployment cancel dep-abc123 --yes

  # Emit JSON for scripting.
  pulumi deployment cancel dep-abc123 --yes --output json
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help            help for cancel
      --output string   Output format. Supported values are: default and json (default "default")
  -s, --stack string    The name of the stack to operate on. Defaults to the current stack
  -y, --yes             Skip confirmation prompts, and proceed with cancellation anyway
